INDIA TURNS 70


Long years ago, we made a “Tryst With Destiny” and started our quest to shape the future of democratic India. The tradition of democracy is not alien to us now because of our choice of a constitution that was built on ethos. What amazes the world perhaps is the sagacity and maturity of the Indian voter who has always tried to exercise enthusiastically,inspite of all odds, proving that the people are sovereign in India.

India has grown up to be a nation which elected women representatives time and again- for the post of a speaker, as the Prime Minister and even as the President of the country, unlike the other powers of the world. Despite such a vast majority of cultures and languages, India is a single nation and the feeling of patriotism is growing day by day. No matter how “intolerant” people call India nowadays, everyone admires the strength that it displays while harboring the needs of the people.

Invaded by foreigners, being ripped off its wealth glory, facing the agony of the partition, punctured by various anti-national elements and yet standing strong in the face of all. That is India for the world. This is us.
