The India of my dreams

A great philosopher, Martin Luther King Jr. once said-"I have a dream".
I say that-"I too have a dream!"
Every child has a dream to become someone and to do something in their lives. For me, that dream has been of becoming a social servant and do something for my country. To make India better, to make it the India of my dreams.
I dream of an India where justice is served to all.
Where each Indian enjoys equality.
Where no child sleeps hungry.
Where there is no distinction between high class and low class of people.
An India in which all communities shall live together in perfect harmony.
We shall be at peace with every other nation.

Where 'Unity in Diversity' is our strength.
An India which is a role model for other nations.
This is the kind of India of my dreams....
But I alone cannot achieve my dream. It will take every Indian to work hard. So dear readers, it is time that we do something for our motherland. I request you all to pledge today that you will act like responsible citizens and fulfill your duties towards your nation.
There is no better way to sum this up than the lines of the great Indian poet, Shri Rabindernath Tagore-
        " Where the heads are held high,
           Where the mind is without fear,
           Which is a heaven of freedom,
           Oh Lord! In my country I wake,
           May God fulfill my dreams!   "
JAI HIND!

Many political leaders became the voice of the masses and led the struggle for freedom. While leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Nehru fought with peace and non-violence, the revolutionaries gave their sweat and blood. One such revolutionary was Sardar Bhagat Singh. Sacrificing his life at the age of 23, he became an idol for many.  He was born in 1907. “My life has been dedicated to the noblest cause, that of the freedom of the country. Therefore, there is no rest or worldly desire that can lure me now.”     -in a letter to his family, he wrote.  In 1928, Lala Lajpat Rai died due to fatal injuries during the lathi charge on a crowd protesting the Simon Commission. This proved to be the turn...

Remembering Tagore: the Indian Polymath                                        By- Aaditya Wadhwa 15th August,1947. Our country got independence from years of British Rule. But this day of independence did not come so easily. It took us about 100 years of struggle and protest to get our country back from the English Rule. In these 100 years of freedom struggle, every Indian fought for the country in different ways. Some like Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad and Bose fought with bullets, while others with politics and Satyagraha like Nehru and Gandhi. But there were also some poets and writers, who through their robust writings, used to raise their voice against the Britishers. One such intellectual was Rabindranath Tagore.
