We celebrate our
Independence day on 15th August in 2016 with a lot of joy and happiness in
the air as well as in each of our eyes and hearts. It's
our 70th Independence day since 1947. It is a great feeling to be a
citizen of an Independent republic.
On this occasion it is
imperative that we remember the sacrifices of our great national heroes
during the long independence struggle. Many leaders in spite of being
well off, came on to the streets and fought for free India. Some of the
known leaders were Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Sarojini
Naidu, Sardar Patel, Dadabai Nauroji, Bhagat Singh, Alluri SeetaRama Raju,
Pingali Venkaiah, Rani Lakshmi Bai, Mangal Pandey, Dr Rajendra Prasad, Dr
BR Ambedkar, Maulana Azad, Dadabai Nauroji, Jaya Prakash Narain, Kamraj,
Motilala Nehru, Pandit MM Malaviya, Tantiya Tope, Rabindra Nath Tagore,Dr Jakir
Hussain, Sukhdev, Senapati Bapat, and Subash Chandra Bose.
Many of these fighters
fought while sacrificing their career, life, joy and family.
Many ordinary people suffered major injuries, had their property
destroyed and taken away and their women raped and killed. Most of
the freedom fighters went to jails that had no proper facilities to live
properly. A lot of them spent their own money to run press and write
about the British atrocities and inform the whole world. That had
put a lot of pressure on the British Throne.
Some of
them followed peaceful means of fighting, while the others followed
revolutionary methods. Many persons supported the freedom fighters,
so that movements could proceed. Whatever they did was more than sufficient to
throw the British, who had the largest power & army in the
world, out of the country.
Try to imagine that you
have to do this today. It will not be possible to imagine your situation
if you have to fight now like they had. Very few of us will be
ready to fight like them. This one point will simply tell us all the
enormous favour that the freedom fighters did for us. Some leaders may
appear to fight for people these days. But it appears that they look for
power after winning the public support and then earn money for themselves and
their favoured people. On the other hand, freedom struggle was for
the golden future of the country. It was not against the British
people, it was against their rule and injustice. But for a few, most of
them fought selflessly for the noble cause. Many people will now say “why fight for the
society, fight for yourself”. Look for
your career. This will be the
predominant feeling among people. So the
“glory” and “nobility” in the sacrifices of our freedom fighters is
unquestionable.
Without their unrelented efforts and glorious and noble sacrifices, we would still be slaves under the British. Their non-violent, non-cooperative, freedom fight won acclaim all over the world. Many countries could get their Independence afterwards following India.
Also,
we see that Independence, freedom and right to do one's choice is given the
greatest importance in the most advanced countries including the USA.
Thus we have to thank our freedom fighters for having been the cause for the
gift that the world values the most.
It's 70 years
now already. India was very poor and unorganized. India faced tough
hurdles to come to where it is now. There were many internal struggles
for unity in diversity, peace. There were many hits by selfish people
from inside. There were many invasions on the land on the borders, during
which we lost a lot of land. There were a lot of regional, caste,
language and religious barriers for progress. A lot of good
things happened and bad things too along with them. Now people of
India are more educated and knowledgeable and are probably on a progress path
that the freedom fighters had hoped for.
