Many Things to Celebrate This Independence Day

Today, on the eve of India's Independence Day, it may be a good idea to give a thought to what India means to us. If we love this country, what is it that we love about it? What does India mean to us? Are we prepared to do what it means to be a good citizen of this country? Are we willing to do what really matters, beyond the posturing and beyond going through the motions of singing the national anthem, unfurling and saluting the flag?

Let’s celebrate the flag

This time around, don’t just buy a flag at the traffic intersection and plonk it on the dashboard and forget about it. Think about what our freedom fighters and first leaders of India meant for it to represent: the saffron for courage and strength, green for prosperity and white for peace; with the Ashok Chakra or the wheel of law representing striving and self-reliance.
