Happy Independence Day…

This 15th August will mark the 72nd Independence Day in India. It is on this day way back in 1947 when India became free from British regime. Independence Day is one of the national festival celebrated across the country apart from Republic Day and Gandhi Jayanti which are observed on 26th January and 2nd October respectively.

Indian freedom struggle consists of sacrifice, martydom, motivation, learning and preserving the culture. There were several who sacrified their lives for the cause of nation. The first war of Independence was fought in 1857 which ignited the zeal to get rid of British regime and make India free from any colonial rule. The 90 years struggle and fight ultimately gave us independence on 15th August, 1947 which also came with massive communal riots across the country due to the bloodshed of partition which divided India into two separate nations; India and Pakistan. Many sons of mother India lost their lives to bring freedom and have our own way of living. This independent India which we see today is because their immense contribution and it is our duty to preserve it and pave the way for its betterment. What we do should do good to us and the nation as well. It should be in the national interest.

On this auspicious day, Prime Minister of India hoists the tricolor at Red Fort, New Delhi and addresses the nation. Since 2014, Mr. Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister and this will be his 6th Independence Day speech. It is also the first Independence Day celebration post scrapping Article 370 which gives special status to the state of Jammu & Kashmir. Remember, recently Article 370 of the Indian Constitution was scrapped by the President’s order and Parliament also passed the bill which got President’s consent to bifurcate Jammu & Kashmir into two Union Territories; Jammu & Kashmir (with Legislature) and Ladakh (without Legislature).

On this eve, I would like to wish all of you a very happy Independence Day. 🙂  Do good to yourself and make our country pride with your work and deeds. Stay united as there are many forces who are trying to disturb the situation post disruption of Article 370. So it’s up to us to keep calm and be patient enough in order to not to get carried away with fake news and rumours. Be united, a humble appeal to all of us. Once again, a very happy Independence day to all of you. Celebrate, enjoy the day and last but not the least, be happy always… 🙂 🙂

The Glory of Indian Republic

26th January is one of the important day in Indian history. It is on this day in 1950, the Indian constitution came into force. This day is celebrated as Republic Day across the country.  It is one of the two most important national festivals along with Independence Day which is being observed on 15th August. Independence Day as the name suggests is the day when India got freedom from British regime and Republic Day is the one which made India to adopt its own constitution.

Although the history of Indian Constitution goes back. On 26 November 1949, the constitution was adopted by the Constituent Assembly and came into effect on 26 January 1950. Dr B.R Ambedkar was pioneer in drafting the Indian Constitution and was also the Chairman of Constitution Drafting Committee.  Dr Ambedkar was also the first Law Minister of independent India. His contribution is incomparable.

The President of India hoist the national flag at Rajpath, New Delhi. Every year India is hosting head of state or government of another country as a chief guest in Republic Day celebrations. In 2015 , India hosted Barack Obama, the then US President.  Last year it was French President Francois Hollande. This year UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan will be the chief guest.

I wish all of you a very happy Republic Day. Do good to the nation as people only make or break the country. Contribute to the betterment of the nation so that India should reach new heights in every field. Enjoy, be cheerful and be happy. 🙂 Once again, a very happy Republic Day…

…LET’S CELEBRATE THE INDEPENDENCE…

The most important day in Indian history, the day of which every Indians are proud of is 15th August i.e Independence day. It was on this auspicious day in 1947 that India got freedom from British regime which lasted for almost 250 years. This day  finally came after massive protests for several years, so many sacrifices by martyrs. The struggle for independence was a deadly and bloody battle in which so many people sacrificed their lives for the sake of country.  It is the most important national festival of our country. The other being the Republic day which is celebrated on 26th Januray, the day when Constitution of India was adopted in 1950.

This year marks the 68th Independence day. In these 68 years there have been many improvements and achievements and the journey continues and I hope it will continue with more pace.  A country grows and achieves only when its citizens contribute to its development. So it is our duty too to give something to our motherland whom we worship. That contribution can be anything, anything that you think can make a change, can benefit the society. If each of us contribute something then as a whole it leads to massive change, big achievement.

This day is celebrated across the country. The Prime Minister hoists the national flag at Red Fort(Lal Quila) in New Delhi and addresses the nation. Everyone is having a lot of hope from the current Prime Minister i.e Narendra Modi and we hope that India will reach to new heights. But for this to achieve one has to be a part of the change too. 🙂 The feeling of being Indian is at its peak on this day. People from every background celebrate this festival the way they can and feel proud of being an Indian.

There are many movies which have been made with patriotic flavour. Bollywood have always been very generous in showing as well as growing the feeling of patriotism. The patriotic songs of golden era of Bollywood is truly a gem. So on this holy day I would like to share one of the song which has become immortal. This song is also known as “India’s second National Anthem”. Yes I am talking about “Mere desh ki dharti” from the movie,    Upkar     directed    by Manoj Kumar. Every national festival is incomplete without this song.    Sung by Mahendra Kapoor, written by Gulshan Bawra and composed by Kalyanji-Anandji, this song is still refreshing after 48 years from its release in 1967.

 

So wishing you all a very happy Independence day. Lets enjoy, rejoice and refresh ourself for a better tomorrow, not for ourselves but for our country. Being an Indian is a proud feeling and  it is our duty too to preserve our culture and heritage. We have to carry forward the legacy which have been left behind. When the citizens steps ahead, nation moves forward.     Remember whatever we do, it should be a service to our nation, our motherland as if we would not take care of our mother then who will do it ???

So, let’s celebrate the Independence… Happy Independence day to all of you… 🙂

अपना हिन्दुस्तान |

As Independence day is coming closer i.e on 15th August. So here is my first take on a poem which is of patriotic theme. I hope it will be liked by you all… 🙂 Happy Independence day… 🙂

ये धरती है बहुत पावन |
यहाँ का हर रंग है मन भावन  |
जिसके सिर पे हिमालय का है ताज |
जो है हम सबका सरटाज़ |
शान से सदियों पे जिस पर हमे है गर्व |
हर रोज़ होता हैं यहाँ कोई पर्व |
है जिसका हमें अभिमान |
कोई और नहीं …
वो है अपना हिन्दुस्तान |

खून से सींचा है जिसे शहीदों ने |
जिसके लिए सर कटा दिया वीरों ने |
ये माटी है बहुत ही अनमोल |
जो बोलती है हमेशा मीठे बोल |
गोद मे संजोया है जिसने हमे |
माँ की तरह पाला है जिसने हमे |
होता है जिसपे हमें गुमान |
कोई और नहीं …
वो है अपना हिन्दुस्तान |

देश है एक पर भाषा अनेक |
जहाँ के लोग हैं सॉफ और नेक |
है कौन जो इस से प्यार नहीं करेगा |
ढूँदने पर भी ब्रह्मांड में ऐसा देश नहीं मिलेगा |
इसकी वातावरण मे एक अनोखी खुशबू है |
जो कहीं और मिलती नहीं है |
है जहाँ पर सबका मान और सम्मान |
कोई और नहीं …
वो है अपना हिन्दुस्तान |

जिसने किया है संसार पर अनेकों उपकार |
क्यूँ न करे हम उस धरती से प्यार |
यही वो जगह है जहाँ स्वर्ग है बस्ता |
हर दिल मे हिन्दुस्तान है रहता |
इसकी तारीफ कोई लिख नहीं पाएगा |
लिखने भी लगे तो स्याही कम पर जाएगा |
जिसके हर एक कन मे अनोखी ताक़त है |
वो तो अपना भारत है |
नहीं होता है जहाँ किसी का अपमान |
कोई और नहीं …
वो तो है सिर्फ़ अपना हिन्दुस्तान |
अपना हिन्दुस्तान …

…26th JANUARY AND 15th AUGUST…

Every year we celebrate independance day and republic day on 15 august & 26 january respectively. Earlier people used to wait for this day with great passion & they celebrated these days with great dedication,  strength &  joy.

Time changed & now the new generation which is our future have to take the responsibility. But its bad to see that most of the people don’t have that joy & emotions & feelings for the national festival.Many people think that 15 aug & 26 jan are holidays for them. They enjoy , do party , make fun of others & have fun.With my experience that i saw with most of the people i came to the conclusion that 15 aug & 26 jan are general days for them. It doesn’t have any importance & is a holiday for them.

Following are the things that most people do on these days or you can say their way of celebrating these national festivals:-

1. Wake up early in the morning.

2. Switch on the TV & watch our PM hoisting the tricolour.

3. Going to sweet shop & purchase some sweets & distribute among friends & relatives.

4. Watch some unforgettable & immortal patriotic gems of legendary “MANOJ KUMAR”.

5. Listen & sing some immortal patriotic songs of legends like “Md RAFI” & “MAHENDRA KAPOOR”.

6. Read some articles about our country.

7. Talk with friends about our achievements.

8. Purchase few national flag & with this flag in our hand we roam here and there feeling proud to be an indian & in the evening of the same day crush our flag with our “feet” & put it in the ditch and also “spit” on it.

9. Criticise the way the government works.

10. Make oath to do all to my country & at the night we go to bed & take a sound sleep & the next morning we forget that yesterday was a national festival.

Ya crush our flag with our “feet” and also “spit” on it. It sounds quite good n. Then also we say “I AM PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN” & “MERA BHARAT MAHAN”.

Patriotism doesn’t mean to talk about our nation , our achievements & forget it within a day.

Youth are the brigade of this country , they will take it forward.

Youth are the heart of this country , they will make its thought.

Youth are the soul of this country , they will clear all the enemy soul.

Youth are the fire of this country , they will take this higher.

It is our responsibility to do good to our country.By only telling i love my india & singing patriotic songs we can’t do anything.It might be possible that some people even have no idea about what these days are for???

The 10 factors that i pointed is an observation.

I am sure that the first five factors that i have mentioned is not followed by most of the people these days.

Factor 6 is followed by few peoples but…

factor 6 to 10 are followed by most of the people.

IS THIS A GOOD SIGN???

The 8th factor which says about people spitting on our national flag is the worst insult that is being done by few people…

“Our national flag holds an importance that gives a meaning more prosperous to a piece of paper if present on it. And on this account its our responsibility to give due respect to this prosperity; the prosperity that impression  our national flag has. Irresponsible people should keep themselves away from troddening  our national pride, the very same evening of our national festivals.”

IT IS INDEED OUR PRIDE FOR WHICH SO MANY FREEDOM FIGHTERS HAVE  SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES.

We must do our work honestly with full dedication without any essence of having corruption.

But the 10 factors that i have mentioned , don’t you think that these are laughing towards patriotism.

If you are a patriot show this feeling in your work. Please don’t show “FORMALITY OF PATRIOTISM”.So what have you decided how to celebrate the next 26 january and 15 august ???

DECIDE AND TELL ME!!!
