Happy Republic day 2020
I wish all Indians a very happy Republic day. Wear the tricolor flag close to your heart and sing the anthem with pride. Be proud of being a citizen of this fabulous country. Jai hind.
I wish all Indians a very happy Independence Day.
As we celebrate the Independence Day with pride, gratitude and happiness, let’s remember the great Mahatmas who have sacrificed their lives for the freedom of our country.
Each one of us might have his/her own reasons to celebrate this national day. I celebrate to show how thankful; I am to my motherland for all that I have gained from her. Thank you, God, for making me a citizen of this marvelous country. India has given me almost everything. My character, personality, discipline, respect, dignity, acceptance to new ideologies, religion etc. and what not, almost all qualities, I possess today is from this holy land. I thought it’s quite unique to me alone, but it’s in every Indian blood. This is true Indianism. This is the identity my country has given me. The fact that I am Indian is self explanatory of what type of person I am.
In near future, when economies of all countries saturate due to globalization and free trade, its hard to distinguish between € (European) and $(American). We are the only ones to survive with our identity. Because we Indians are not popular for our rupee but for our human values, valor, dignity, culture and our approach to life. The whole world will idolize India. As a citizen, we should thrive to practice, preserve and protect them from falling prey to western culture. Where ever you are, be an Indian.
One amazing aspect of Indianism is tolerance and acceptance to new faith, ideologies, beliefs and people. This is the key reason for the success of this largest democracy. This culture of acceptance is also the main cause for numerous evils to prevail in the society including corruption. We addressed many such evils in peaceful revolutions and are now a brand ambassador of peace to the rest of the world.
If you are fighting for a cause, raise your voice, let your thoughts be heard, convince the govt. and public and the change you want to be bring is inevitable. Hatred and violence is never a solution to any problem.
This is our country. We are here to stay. Let’s clean up the evils prevailing in the society. We are capable of creating a better tomorrow. Raise your voice.
Jai Hind.
I wish all Indians a very happy Republic day.
As we celebrate the Republic Day with pride, gratitude and
happiness, let’s thank the Indian army, air force and navy for safeguarding our
country from foreign intrusions.
We
are all very proud of our nation. Yet most of the time we do complain. I do
agree that in our country things do not happen the way they are supposed to be.
But then whom are we complaining against? Are you expecting super heroes to
solve our problems and clean the society of all evils and make our country a
heaven on earth? No God will come to our rescue. If you do not like your
society, change it to the way you like. We all know that no good deed comes
without pain. If you are dreaming for a corrupt free society, you should be
ready to bear the pain and make the necessary sacrifices. Do not
contribute/submit to corruption from your side. Play your part in rebuilding
our nation. Happy republic day.
I wish all Indians a very happy Independence
Day. On this auspicious day, lets thank all the freedom fighters who fought
against the mighty British and gifted us the FREEDOM. We all know about the
freedom movement and the leaders behind it. How many of us know the history of India after Gandhiji era? To people
like me, who belong to the third generation of independent India, we only know the
political leaders from the post-Independence era. On this very special day, I
wish to remember a very special person from the post-Independence era whose vision
and ideology has helped India preserve its Democracy. His practices and
regulations that he laid out in 1952 are still followed today. He is our first
election commissioner, Sukumar Sen. This civil service officer is the architect
of our prestigious and powerful Election commission.
In march 1950, Prime minister Nehru entrusted Mr
Sen to invent an election system for democratic India and conduct the first
elections to both parliament and state assemblies in spring, 1951. In an era
where the right to vote in most countries and also in the west, was reserved
only to the men of property and working class, Mr Sen introduced the concept of
universal adult franchise. 85% of
the 176 million electorate could not read or write. This is the reason why we
have symbols and not just the names for each party. Each one of them need to be
identified, named and registered. Most of the women refused to give their own
name but instead wished to be registered as A’s mother or B’s wife. Mr Sen is
the one who abolished this culture and gave a proper identity to women. The following numbers help us understand the scale
of Mr Sen’s electoral exercise: elections are held to 500 parliament seats and
4000 assembly seats, 224,000 polling booths were constructed, 8200 tonnes of
steel was used to make ballot boxes, 16,500 clerks on six months contract were
hired to type the electoral rolls, 56,000 presiding officers, 280,000 helpers
and 224,000 policemen were put on duty. Bridges were built to reach out to
remote hilly regions and naval ships were used to cover the islands in the Indian
ocean. The media of film and radio was extensively used to educate the people
about the election process. Several documentaries were made and shown in cinemas
all over India. To avoid impersonation, Indian scientists had invented an ink
which when applied on voters’ fingers stayed for a week. A total of 389,816 phials
of this ink was used in the election.
This massive electoral exercise was
successfully executed in spring, 1952 under the great leadership of Mr Sen.
Many of the methods that were invented or practiced during this exercise are used
even in today’s electioneering.
On this Independence Day, I wish to remember and
thank Mr Sen, the hero of Indian Democracy.
Happy Independence Day.
I wish all Indians a very happy Republic Day. This year, our special guests from ten south east asian nations are joining our celebrations. New Delhi's strategy to use culture, connectivity and commerce to boost relations with our neighbors is showcasing the true spirit of India. I salute every Indian who is contributing in his own way for the betterness of this fabulous country.
I grew up in an era where Media houses were considered sacred and most trusted institutes. Any news published by them was thoroughly researched and investigated. The messages delivered by them had a huge impact on the masses which helped in developing a stable and tolerant society. We blindly believed in any news published by them. Today with the advancements in digital technology, any individual with a smart phone is a micro media house. He can generate news and publish them on social media in a fraction of seconds. I personally feel, that our mental growth didn't have the same pace as the Media advancements. We still blindly trust and believe everything that is published by anonymous individuals on print media, whatsup, facebook, youtube etc. This social behavior is destroying the core framework of Indian society.
The tolerance and sensitivity that we have nurtured for decades is being destroyed by a single tweet. Intolerance is derived from distrust for our self and to our loved ones. Are our values so fragile?
Guys, wake up. Our childhood media houses with ethics and genuity have vanished. We need to be very careful and intelligent to differentiate between genuine and fake news. A single tweet,event or incident can not destroy our values.
We are Indians firstly and lastly. Jai Hind!
I wish all Indians a very
happy Independence Day. 350 millions people won their freedom on this day. Is
this not worth a celebration? We should remember and thank each and every
freedom fighter who had participated in the non-violent fight against the
British. The freedom that we enjoy today is because of these great warriors.
Let’s salute them on this auspicious day.
“Athidhi Devo Bhava” a very
popular verse from Yujjur Veda meaning “Let
thy guest be to thee like unto a god!”. This has been a code of conduct on the
Indian society for centuries. We are taught at home and school that we need to
treat our guests with utmost love, care and affection. No distinction should be
made based on the guest’s caste, color or creed. This practice says a lot about
our culture. It’s not just about how we treat our guests but it describes how
one should treat his fellow citizen with utmost respect.
Has this practice lost its
sheen over the years? These values have eroded over the years. Forget about treating
fellow citizens with high esteem-Do we give any value to the lives of others? We
have defined our new boundaries around ourselves and anything beyond is uncared
for. It’s sad to read the headlines like “More than 60 kids died in UP in a Govt.
medical hospital due to infection and lack of liquid oxygen within a period of
6 days”. This is sheer negligence and lack of respect for the lives of others.
Let’s stop this mentality. We
are all one. Others life is as valuable as ours. Lets honor and care for fellow
citizens. Let’s bring back the Indianism to our hearts and to practice. Jai
Hind!
I wish all Indians a very happy
Republic day.
Let us celebrate the Republic Day with
pride, gratitude and happiness. I wish to thank the Indian army for the
surgical strikes against the terrorist groups. Through such strikes, the Army
has delivered a clear message to all terrorist outfits that whoever thinks or
attempts to endanger the peace and harmony of our nation will be hit hard and strong.
I am very much impressed with the change in attitude of the
general public in addressing social issues. Be it the mass agitation started by
Anna Hazare against corruption or demanding stronger punishment for culprits of
heinous crimes against women or the recent Jallikattu protests to safeguard the
tradition: People believe the fact that when few individuals share a common
dream, all that it takes to realize it, is to raise their voice and let that
voice be heard loud and clear. The spark triggered by few individuals is being
endorsed by one and all and turning out to be massive protests which even the
mighty powerful political or judicial establishment can resist obliging to the
demands of the common public. Currently, the public is being selective in
responding to social causes. But the enthusiasm, vigor and sense of
responsibility building up in the public will soon buy wings and quickly spread
in solving each and every problem in our society.
People have actually started owning their problems. The sense of
responsibility is making them drive towards addressing their issues. People are
no more waiting for a leader or praying god for help. But instead, aggregating
the power and resources from bits and pieces to address their own challenges.
This republic day, I wish
to celebrate the growing strength and enthusiasm in Indiaism. Salute!
