Amazing write up Alok ji..indeed we all need independence from all these then only it will be real and happy independence.

Thank you so much Dipali 🙂 I am glad that you liked my post.

Very big issues, Alok. Yes, we can do so many small things which can truly set an example. A nice initiative.

Rightly said Ravish, issues are really big, but can be conquered with small-small steps only. If we are thinking that Arvind Kejriwal types of politician can make India corruption free in a night, then we need to think it twice. You might say me the follower of Narendra Modi, but honestly our nation actually need the practical approach which he is applying. I am quite sure if he goes in the same way, India will soon be the developed nation.
Meanwhile it is our own duty as well to do what we can do to make India a very strong India.

Forgive me Alok but I ain’t the admirer of the concept of nation very much. I don’t want to limit myself. I believe in humanity first. Caste, creed, religion, region, nation are limitations in human growth.

Hmm, agreed with your thoughts Ravish. Ideally if you are serving humanity only you are actually serving your nation only. My point was that we should at least do whatever we can be able to do for our nation. 🙂 Thank you so much Ravish for sharing your opinion with us.

Great post, Alok.
Today morning when I woke up, I first remembered all our freedom struggle heroes who have sacrificed their lives for our India to be independent & I also thought of our brave soldiers who are guarding us day & night without caring for their lives… I felt guilty that here I am enjoying freedom at their expense…
You have raised valid points. We truly need freedom from all this & more.
We all must perform our right & duties as responsible citizens. Then, our India will progress.-
Very true Anita. Exactly the same feeling came inside my heart too and hence I came up with this post. Thank you so much Anita for supporting my post 🙂

This is a real lovely one Alok, all such brilliant pointers. I listened to the speech by Modi today. It makes me feel really proud that we have such a strong PM to represent us. The thoughts resonated so well and the ones which actually mean true independence.. A wonderful start and a true mark of a responsible man..
And the post is really nice Alok, resonates the true essence of freedom 🙂

Unfortunately I did hear the speech from the news only Vinay, it truly made me proud that we have such a good person as the Prime Minister of India. I cannot explain the happiness in words, Modi jee is really doing a great work to build the nation.

A great Thought propagated…
“Where The mind is without fear
And Head is held High”
– Rabindranath TagoreI have always done my bit and this Independence Day I pledged my organs to save 8 lives and it felt good. The next year I might do something else.

So good to hear this Datta. I am glad that you donated your organs 🙂 Thank you so much Datta for sharing all this 🙂

Alokji your article is realistic but what about the people having a negative attitude. Yesterday more that 50 per cent staff of my office was absent and I know that they celebrate the independence day and republic day as a holiday. I was so annoyed that I marked leave against their names. I got a chance to live for some time in Libya, Russia and other countries where I realized the real value of living in a democratic country. If I compare their life with ours, they are living like slaves.

Thank you so much Sampat Kumari jee for sharing all this with us, honestly there are people who take these two days as a holiday and actually waste the day. We should at least think about our nation and try to build it a strong one with some small-small things 🙂
