60th Independence

Today was Independence day, and this is the day on which our nation was set free by the British Empire. Hmm, this is day of pleasure, pride and happiness for WE INDIANS.
But still I am feeling a bit sad about this day. It was 14th Aug, 1947. J.L. Nehru and some other congress leaders were discussing on who should be the minister in his government, and on the other hand our Father of the nation, who with his golden pen wrote the story of freedom, was sleeping at his house. Congress has put him aside since 1945, making him a senior party member.
Well next day came and J.L. Nehru handed over the envelope to Lord Mountbatten, which contained the name of 13 members in his assembly. But funny thing happened that the envelope got exchanged, and he gave Mountbatten the envelope containing the blank slip.
Gandhiji celebrated independence day with fast. When 1 daily asked him , how is he feeling, he said " I don't have any power left from within." I think he was sad about nation's break down into 2 pieces, therefore he said so.
Here some people were celebrating. Some were in confusion. Take Jinnah's daughter in Bombay, where both flags were hosted. In some parts there were looting, raping and killing was going on. Nation was burning in the fire of Hindu - Muslim fight.
Winston Churchill was not happy about the Independence being given to India. He said British shouldn't have left their control over India, because India can break into pieces due to civil war. But his future prediction has been proved a trash by We Indians. Whenever there is any extremism , like Sikh Extremism people say that India is about to break. Whenever there is less rainfall people say that nation is about to face faminine. But see our Mother India, she is standing High on her feet, and saying I would always feed my babies, no matter what. Maa, tujhe salaam.
No matter what we have gained, we have stood together and that's the biggest acheivement of 60 years of Independence. Rest is bhagwaan bharose in India. Still there are movements like non-cooperation, etc are going on , which our ancestors used to do against British Raj. Same we are doing with our Government. So nothing much has changed, which could have changed. But still we should try our best that our nation changes, and we compete some good nation like China. But We are We, and we the Indians will make our Mother Nation feel proud of Us.
