And as every year advances the true meaning of independence will keep fading, eventually leading to it being just another holiday.
I am not trying to preach or lecture, simply stating the fact as I see it.
It is not an altogether sorry state of affairs either. We are proud of our heritage, our history, our freedom struggle. And we should be - it was after all a very unique freedom struggle. Our leader taught the whole world that nonviolence can be a very effective weapon causing the least amount of casualties.
This day is dedicated to my grandparents and the people of their generation who seemed to have a higher purpose in life. They fought for our country. They chose the right path. They set out to oust a regime and they succeeded.
Have we stood up to their expectations? Let us be optimistic today and say YES! India is a global power today. Let us each take a bit of credit for that and be proud of ourselves and our country.
Jai Hind!

Jai Hind ,but bad things like corruption still come in the path of development. There should be more openness in decisions concerning development.
We have long way to go to become global power. we need to create the sustainable infrastructure on which we can stand.
