....it never was and it will never be!! I read this idiom(or rather a reminder) inscribed on the walls of Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington DC. I was reminded of it today as we commemorate another year of Indian Independence from the British colonial rule. We do feel proud to tell everyone about the heroism of our soldiers who lost their lives, and of soldiers who had struggled to recover what they lost fighting for our independence. Yes, ALL gave some and some gave ALL. Like many other nations, that was the price India paid for her dearly bought freedom.
While this day is celebrated across the country with great enthusiasm, the Indians abroad are also not far behind in celebrating this day in their own special way. One such grand celebration that I know of is happening in US in the MIT University at Cambridge. The whole i-day event is being organised by the Sangam committee of MIT and is co-ordinated by none other than my dear brother :-). The series of cultural events planned for this occasion are worth appreciating. While 73 guests have confirmed their presence for this event, the Sangam committee forsees more than this number attending the function. It feels great to see the diverse culture and glory of our country being spread all over the globe.
Proud to be an Indian. Happy Independence day!
Jai Hind!!
