India had got its freedom years ago but is it really free...We are one but are we really one?
Caste..creed...religion has divided us in different units...for small thing we fight...Did the great patriots like Gandhiji...Bhagat singh...Chandrashekhar azad ...Subhas Chandra bose...Nehru ji would have greamt of this India...Do we know were we are heading...?
today we need to be united and then decide our good and bad...this is the only way to become a good citizen...When we will think about us not me...We will be one when before power people will think about humanity...that will be the day when we will get true independence...
But today is the day when our ancestors won a battel between right and wrong by verpowering wrong and giving new life to our country...They paid the debt they had on the country...Now its our turn to return the debt by becoming a responsible citizen...By doing stuffs in the benefit of country...Making the old lady proud of her children...
But today if we are free then just because of our leaders who embraced death with a smile on their face...If we are claiming our power themn the credit goes to those leaders who sacrifised their life just to see their mother India free from those rulers who treated them like trash...Those were the leaders who filled the fire of freedom and revolt in the hearts of cojmmon people...a grand salute to them...
Jai hind...
Jai Bharat...
Gandhi ji
Mohandas "Mahatma" Gandhi was India's most important political and spiritual leader. He is honoured in India as Father of the Nation. His non-violent protests led to independence for India from the British. His beliefs and actions have inspired civil rights movements across the globe. He is an icon of world peace. His birthday, 2nd October, is commemorated worldwide as the International Day of Non-Violence.
Gandhi was born in Gujarat, Western India, in 1869. He grew up surrounded by religious traditions of compassion, vegetarianism, and tolerance for all people. He got married at the age of 13. When he was 19, he went to London to study law. He returned to India to practice as a lawyer but was hampered by British officials, so he accepted a job in South Africa.
In South Africa, Gandhi faced discrimination and hardship wherever he went. He was treated as a third-class citizen by white people. This awakened in him questions about social justice and the role of the British in India. He returned to India in 1915, ready to put to work the concept of passive resistance he developed in South Africa.
Between 1916 and 1945, Gandhi campaigned tirelessly to set India free from British rule. He started by leading protests against British taxes and landlords, and walked across India encouraging non-cooperation with the British. He was arrested and imprisoned for creating unrest.
