Our motherland celebrates 75th Independence Day tomorrow. It is indeed a proud moment for all Indians as we unfurl the National Tricolor at the Red Fort.
75 years ago as in the words of our First Prime Minister Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru " At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom."
We have awakened to freedom and life.
Young at 75 that is how I would like to describe our motherland.
Challenges have been many and will continue to be so as we move forward in our quest to be one of the best countries in the world upholding our traditions while embracing the modern aspects.
We have weathered many storms, starting from invasions, terrorist attacks, natural disasters almost every year, political upheavals and and last but not the least the pandemic.
We have also to be proud of our achievements , achieving self sufficiency in food security, the multipurpose projects, industrial revolution, our space adventures and becoming a small IT hub in the world where world came to us for solutions. We are at the top of many multinational giants.
Our motherland, with its varied natural features, climate , languages, traditions and cuisines that has evolved from ancient times. We have one of the oldest civilizations of the world that lies in harmony with the modern technological age.
We have managed to knit together the quilt with the diverse threads and create a beautiful design.
Yes there are multiple hurdles to overcome and we are far from becoming a superpower .
Yet we have always shown our unity whenever our nation demanded it and we have always come together to support our fellow countrymen irrespective of where they are whenever they are in need.
We have rejoiced together in our triumphs and held each other in grief and we march together hand in hand towards our dream of a self sufficient nation with a sustainable economy.
Long live our India. Keep shining,
