It’s 15th of August.
And here I am, comfortably seated in my chair, living, and breathing the air of independence.
My thoughts painted in saffron, white, and deep green, I let myself immerse in the deep oceanic love that I have for my country.
The land of the great sages, leaders, writers, and freedom fighters.
The land of the spirited.
The land that has always put spiritual evolution above anything else.
The land that has always believed.
Listening to A.R. Rehman’s ‘Vande Mataram’, my eyes are welling up thinking of all that India has given me.
Of course, it has given me a chance to witness the beauty of co-existence. Of sacrifice and valour.
It has given me a chance to listen to a hundred tales of bravery. Of resilience. Of Dharma.
But what I am most thankful for, is its gift of benevolence.
I have seen kindness flowering in every corner of my motherland.
In its flowing rivers that are worshipped.
How can these rivers be ordinary when there are a million prayers floating on them?
Sometimes in the mighty Himalayas, which have reminded people time and again of the triviality of a human’s existence, colour and creed then dissolve their meanings.
Sometimes through art and music, the boundaries of religion and language are transcended, and rigid notions are distilled. Art then becomes a common boon for all.
All these little examples are of places where benevolence is found abundantly.
One day, however, I might have to leave this land and go somewhere else, for livelihood.
Will I be able to leave my homeland, then?
And if I do, will I still sing praises of it, on days like these?
Will I still accept and treat the foreign land as my own while I yearn for the touch of my home soil and the warm earthy aroma of spirituality that perfumes its every corner?
Will I ever truly be able to become a citizen of a foreign land when my colour, appearance, accent, and subtle habits will always be Indian?
Will I ever truly be able to fall in love with a foreign land, when all my life I have been a faithful lover of my country?
If I ever have to leave this country, will I ever be able to cry tears of pride on this day again?

Gandhi Jeyanthi wishes . Seen here is the cover page of Ananda Vikatan Tamil Weekly Magazine's August 1948 Independence day issue, painted by the famous cartoonist Mr Gopulu . The Vikatan mascot is seen in traditional attire holding a baby representing the newly independent India, while the Father of our nation Gandhiji's picture is seen beside garlanded, the cartoonist induces humour through a monkey dressed in sudeshi kadar complete with cap, holds the tricolor and placard which reads "Our loving wishes" . . . #indiantiquest #antiqueshop #india #independencedayindia #tricolour #myantiquestory #bharat #nehru #gandhi #freedom #fighters #15thaugust #anandavikatan #gopulu #cartoon #mascot #vikatan #tamil #magazine #weekly #artoon #celebration #indian #nation #nationalism https://www.instagram.com/p/CjMkl2NAICN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy 75th Independence Day to all my Friends..🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 On August 15, Monday, India will mark 75 years of Independence. The country gained freedom from British colonial rule on August 15, 1947. As we gear up to celebrate the 76th Independence Day, it is crucial to remember the importance of this day, the history of our nation, and the sacrifices our freedom fighters made to gain freedom from the clutches of the British Empire. On this day, the country's citizens hoist flags while singing the national anthem and cultural parades take place all over the country. The Prime Minister also hoists the national flag and gives a speech at the Red Fort. It is a tradition started by the first prime minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, who raised the national flag above the Lahori Gate of Red Fort in Delhi in 1947.. Jai HIND..🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 #jaihind #photo #harghartiranga #75yearsofindependence #abhilas #india #indian #hargharjhanda #harghartiranga🇮🇳 #modi #75thindependenceday #15thaugust #flag #indianflag #explorepage #foryou https://www.instagram.com/p/ChRFZDAJUvu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
