Happy 60th Independence Day

Proud to be Indian



Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err.
It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able,
Can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious gift.
~ Mahatma Gandhi


Unleash Freedom

Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge... At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to like and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance... We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again.
~ Jawaharlal Nehru, on the eve of Independence


If there is one place on the face of the earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it Is India!
~ French scholar Romaine Rolland


सारे जहाँ से अच्छा
हिन्दूस्तान हमारा
हम बुलबुलें हैं इसकी
ये गुलसितां हमारा

Embrace the spirit of freedom.
