This is the day we are reminded of our freedom.

This is the day we feel proud looking at the hoisted tri colour...

This is the day, we recollect the past stories....

And this is the day we remember, our great leaders.

As our leaders dreamt, tremendous and far reaching development

has taken place in India, especially in the field of information technology,

science, agriculture etc.Yes, we have many things to be proud of.

But can we really say that we are totally fine and living in an Independent India.?

Today as we celebrate the (62nd ) Independence Day of our country,

i would like to draw your attention towards the practical meaning of

Independence.Independence - the word can be broken in to two different words:

IN -DEPENDENCE means depend on somebody.

In order to become a true Independent Indian,

we must help out, the dependents who are around us.

They can be our own parents, brothers and sisters,

grand parents, elders and aged in our neighbourhood,

the sick, lonely, unemployed, handicapped and the needy.

If we are willing to peel away our perceptions,

we will realize that all human beings are inter connected & inter dependent.

The illusion is that, there is an 'US"  versus "Them'.

And there is one " I" and " YOU" .

We are all Indians, born in Independent India.

Our freedom is to be celebrated in more tangible way than in the past.

Let us be there,  for the other to depend on.

May they feel that they can depend on us

who are the sons and daughters of the same soil.

The reality is that we are a unified whole.

We must delight in each other and make others' conditions our own.

Let us remember those great people who loved our country & died for the country.

They died crying out - "Bharat Mata ki Jai".

Let us also serve our country, our nation not by giving our life,

but by giving ourselves to our dependents .

I wish all of you the greetings, of  this wonderful, glorious, holy Independence day.
