73rd Independence Day of India - 2020
How old is India?
Do we know?
Do we honestly know how old is our civilisation apart from our Independence which we got on 15th August 1947?
Ok so this small blog is not about the civilization and its study about India, but I’m trying to depict how old are we and how glorious our culture is. I could talk about the issues as well that need serious concerns.
India is considered to have the oldest civilisations in the world. This we mark as the notion of “Unity in Diversity”. India is meant to be one of the most celebrated and diverse countries in the world. The unique factor which India serves is its peculiar culture and the amalgamation of an array of languages and customs.
This year we mark the 73rd Independence day of India. As we gear up to celebrate our freedom from the British rule in 1947. There are series of incidences which made us proud this year and showcased India on the global front. On this day, India witnesses a huge celebration of independence with tricolour flag hoisting, parades and cultural functions across the country. Independence Day is one of the most significant days in Indian history that reminds us of the bravery of our freedom fighters. With buildings illuminated by the tricolour, people pay homage to our leaders and great fighters who fought and gave up their lives for India’s freedom “Our Freedom”.
Being a traveller and an author I would like to start from the declaration of the Union territories executed by the Indian government this year. Then ISRO and Chandrayaan add the glory to the peak. Northeast India tourism boomed this year as compared to last year. Indian tourism rank has improved it’s ranking by 6 places in 2019. On the other side, there are other developments in the field of education, digital India, clean Indian etc. which has given India a remarkable status.
I wanted to talk about some major issues in India which are still overlooked and not considered much of the concern. Hope your readers would not take it as an offence. Still, safety and education of our girls are on a brim mode. The shady political system and corruption make lives of people vulnerable to crime and heinous events. There are other daunting issues related to the girl child, mafia, education system and women empowerment that would need serious attention in the coming years.
Indicating all these I just pray and hope that India shall become the most loved and safe country to live in. We all shall be positive and be together in achieving this. And currently, as we know the whole world and India is facing ongoing challenges of Pandemic Covid-19, it is a dire need to face them in unity. Until we won’t get together and support each other we won’t be able to succeed.
Jai Hind!
