I was waiting for the right time to write about this !
Had a wish to be independent of my parents (which was majorly concerned of financial freedom) this point lead me to the thought of understanding the real definition of independence.Then I did the same thing, that anyone one of us do these days- ' googled it ! '. It was something like this :
independence
/ɪndɪˈpɛnd(ə)ns/
noun
- the fact or state of being independent.
"Argentina gained independence from Spain in 1816"synonyms: self-government, self-rule, home rule, self-legislation, self-determination, sovereignty, autonomy, non-alignment, freedom, liberty; More
Translate independence to
noun
- 1. स्वतंत्रता
- 2. आज़ादी
I thought whether "I could be ever independent of anyone ?". Anyone cannot be completely independent. We all are interconnected we all are dependent for example ' If a nuclear test fails very badly at some place on earth may be it will be bad for whole earth not for that place only !'. So whats the point in celebrating the independence day ?
The question seems rough but till the time I felt like celebrating this day as attending flag hosting in the school , participating in speech competition, watching related movies on TV and celebrate the holiday ! But now Ill tell you what I have realized,
Let's begin,
Let's begin,
When I was going through these thoughts I realized that I wanted to be ,
'F R E E not I N D P E N D E N T'
Freedom is a feeling while the independence is a position or being state but the real freedom comes once we are independent. I would like illustrate this with example ," I asked mom i wanted to open a restaurant, she said "first do a job, earn money then do whatever you want" .Indirectly she was saying first be independent then you're free. Many of us struggle for freedom , freedom for living life their way, freedom of doing whatever they like , eating what they want , sleep and wake-up when they want ,but for this they must be independent .
So now I can conclude that we celebrate the 15th august every year since that day India become free , became independent of the British rule. Indians free to decide their leader, free to speak , free to write, free to do many things that we do every day. So to thank the people, remember the legends who happily sacrificed their life asking for no returns so that we can be free. So its really a great to start its not just a holiday its an opportunity to educate people about the real Independence. Because we can be really together well interdependent once we are individually independent.
PS: If you really want to celebrate the Independence day, well I can suggest you that let someone aware about the freedom he has in his life and make them realize the price someone is paying for his freedom, he will no longer be the same person as before. Start with yourself !
