Independence Day-Self-dependent INDIA

 

Independence Day-Self-dependent INDIA  

"Every citizen of India must remember that he is an Indian, and he has every right in this country but with certain duties."                        

                                                                        -   Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel

On August 15, 1947, India gained its independence after many years of struggle. On this day, the nation secured full autonomy from the British rule after years of torment. To our freedom fighters, to our soldiers, to our heroes of the country, to the martyrs, they are the reason we have this Independence Day to celebrate, and we will never forget their sacrifice and selfless love for our country. This day is for remembering what our soldiers did for our independence. This year, India has achieved 73 years of freedom and marks the 74th Independence Day of the country. 

We must strive harder every day of our lives for a better India. Our memories have weakened nowadays.  We have come so far and taken our Independence for granted, forgetting the real meaning of Independence.

Many freedom fighters have lost their lives happily for the country. Independence was not too easy for India to get. Over 200-year British colony ruled the Indian land, today lots of things have changed, 74th independence day is going to be celebrated, but seriously do we know what Independence really mean?  Let’s talk about today's Freedom. Freedom is something that we can not buy, it can only be earned by several sacrifices.  We’ve tried so hard to make it, so let’s celebrate the fact that we still have our freedom. Never let go of it and always carry it in your heart.

A storm is going on nowadays in India among youth, “FREEDOM OF SPEECH.” 

 

Article 19(1)(a) of the Indian Constitution says that “All citizens have the right to freedom of speech and expression. Freedom of Speech and expression means the right to express one's convictions and opinions freely by words of mouth, writing, printing, pictures, or any other mode.”

This Article does not give us the power to humiliate anyone anywhere. How we can insult or attempt to humiliate someone. They accuse someone of being overly sensitive or say that it was a joke, and you have no sense of humor. Now many will think we never slap anybody, no fight nothing, but here we are talking about Verbal Abusement. Who gives these rights to you to say anything forcefully criticizing, insulting, or denouncing another person. Does humanity exist?

Yes, we are independent; no one can control us. But in the present scenario, everyone is dependent on others' thoughts. Use your mind before saying anything. You don’t know your words have power, which can kill someone.  Many news channels propagate false news for the sake of profit. They don’t think about the consequences. Everybody is just looking at their benefit, but no one is looking for humanity. I can understand and relate to everyone and have the right to express their thoughts. It is a perfect law, but taking the wrong advantage based on this rule that’s, not the right thing. Can we celebrate our independence to stand for the right side for the right person? 

Indian culture never teaches to say bad words for anybody. India is the land of Lord Ram, who straightforwardly explained humanity to each and every one. He never said anything wrong even for his mother Kaikai, who gave him a 14 years exile. India gave the Karma theory to the world, and today, we do not believe in our roots, Why?  

 

“So long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever the law provides freedom is of no avail to you.” – Dr. B.R. Ambedkar

We are living in the digital world, and technology plays a significant role in communication in the current situation. Everyone is connected. Everyone is watching India is a place with lots of opportunities. Everyone is waiting for our one wrong path and get dependent again. Our soldier is doing great for our country, and they deserve immense respect. Every Indian can contribute something to our country. Don’t think that only a soldier has a duty towards India. Every citizen can help and make the country proud. We all are Indian by heart; no religion, caste, and creed can divide us. We all are together and can lead the world. Use freedom of speech to express your views rather than the destruction of humanity. Let us imbibe the traditional Indian cultural values in our modern world and prove that us, the tech-savvy generation can make our country proud and confident. 

Jai Hind! Jai Bharat!

Jai Atmanirbhar Bharat!
