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!

Yes, civic sense. That's one that thing that we horribly lack. The absence of that important human quality is undoing a lot of progress that we are making.
ReplyDeleteA lot of our daily-life problems (inspite of our country's greatness) can be traced to our lack of civility in human interactions, and the lack of civic sense in public places.
You are highly opstimistic and magnanimous.
