India is where the world stops today. The exuberant blood flowing within the veins of its youth has mesmerized the super powers. During these trying times of economic turbulence, the entire world expects the deliveries from India. It would be appropriate to call India a world in itself. On this very day the country received its Independence from the British Empire. The historic event signifies the importance of democracy that provided freedom to its citizen for spreading its wings wide open. The leap till now is worth praising.
My India has a blend of rich heritage supported with a prosperous culture. The country is proud to mother the greats like Buddha and Ashoka who are accredited to change the course of human history. The country also parented the great Rushis’ who preached Religion* to this world. The epics like Ramayan and Mahabharat enlightens the human soul. The rivers enrich the land with minerals that provides healthy food. The man made wonders too has a distinct place. Art has a special acclaim. The people themselves are open hearted who treat every other human as part of their own family. The bonding and belongingness amongst each other broadcast a well knitted society even for the various religious followings found here.
Historically, India has always been under siege of foreign invaders. Moghuls looted its precious metal time and along. The Europeans, masked as traders, ruled for about 200 years. The British drew the geographical borders of our country. After an elongated fight and sacrifices of the freedom fighters, we received Independence from the British on 15th August 1947 demarking the rise of new India. Every year since, on this very day, the martyrs are remembered and praised for their sacrifices. For their unselfish efforts, we are leaving into a democratic nation with freedom to all citizens. Post hoisting the national flag over the historic Red fort, the Prime Minister addresses his speech to the entire nation. The national anthem is sung post speech and the progress of country is exhibited in the coming hours.
For past 62 years the country has made growth in leaps and bounds. At the time of Independence the country was broke and had a gloomy future staring right in its eyes. The people were uneducated and there exists more problems of social, economic and political turmoil. The religious divisions put by the British have haunted our country time and again. Even after these drastic aspects it was our social beliefs that kept us together and has enrooted us to the glorifying days ahead.
Today we have made advancement over a wide range. The technological sector, the IT sector, the agricultural sector, the defense sector, the scientific sector, the automation sector, businesses, education, sports, media, advertising, entertainment etc. have all made a surge towards the upward swing. We are know as the nuclear nation and are marching towards becoming the super powers. The scientists have launched a prestigious space shuttle program named ‘Chandrayaan’ which will enhance our understating of Moon. The stock exchange has helped many to become wealthy. The life of an educated Indian* has been rewarded with luxurious.
Of course, these developments have come with certain distractions and hindrances. We are facing terrorism like no other country. The naxalities has been foddered until forming the cancerous cells. Due to lack of political will, the common man is still deprived from the basic amenities. Water supply continues to be a major problem. The sad fact is the fight over river water in country like India which boasts of having rich rivers like Ganga, Yamuna and Bhramaputra. Corruption, in all states and forms, has decayed the very purpose of democracy. A high poverty rate has constantly challenged the social sanity. And the biggest threat is the ideologies proposing the division of Indians over religion and motherland. We need to understand that the same ideologies are forwarded for the personal gains of few and are hazardous for the unity of our country.
Today on the Independence day of 2009, we must think to become a bit more Indian. We have to have a social aspect attached to our dreams. We have to step over the challenges and bring back the glory. We must refrain from complaining about everything and developed a mindset of prosperity. What ever a mind conceives, it achieves. We will present India to this world as a gift of God.
It’s our country, our home, our paradise.

*Religion – Religion means faith in whichever god you believe in. Its more of spiritual enlightenment.
*Educated Indian – This doesn’t mean the academic degrees, but the increase in overall financial IQ.
