Do you know why India is so respectful for these 6 countries?
“What makes a nation, is the past, what justifies one nation against others is the past“, says the noted historian Eric Hobsbawm.
Hence, when talking of a nation, it becomes absolutely imperative that the past should also be talked about. And the past of India is fascinating and interesting as it is momentous.
After the entire nation observed and (hopefully) celebrated the 69th year of Indian Republic, many of us have perhaps forgotten that that day was important. The only thing that remains in our mind now, is the break from the regular work we had. Ironically, today, Valentines Day, New Years day etc. make us feel ecstatic and festive but Republic Day and other national days do not throw us into a similar festive frenzy. The reason being, there is no business opportunity, glamour or show off associated with our national festivals.
We urge the youth to look at all that India as a nation has achieved; be proud and determined to take her to new heights.
