Independence Day
2025 marks India's 79th year of Independence—79 years since she was freed from the shackles of colonial rule. It’s a holiday that everyone looks forward to, especially with a long weekend like this year.
I am proud of all that my country has achieved in these past 79 years. She has come into her own.
As flag-hoisting ceremonies are held and the national anthem, along with patriotic songs, are sung, I pray to God to bless her people with a stronger civic sense.
- I pray that her children maintain her secular fabric and that all live in harmony.
- That women are given the freedom and justice they deserve.
- That education and literacy reach even her most distant corners.
- May all her children learn to speak the language of love.
- That justice prevails and corruption is thwarted.
That the hard-earned freedom be used wisely.
May our beautiful motherland continue to rise from strength to strength, and may God be with her always. Jai Hind!
