The Changing Shades of India in the last 75 years

I have seen almost 50 springs in Bharat, my Desh.

When Nehruji addressed the nation for the first time as a prime minister, he said that “at the stroke of the midnight hour when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom”. And, yes, we did, and for the last 75 years are enjoying the privilege of being a country with the largest democracy in the whole world. If given a chance to travel back in time, I would like to go back to the times of the 1900s when each street of Bharat echoed the sound of Vande Mataram and Bharat Mata ki Jai ho. This sound is now fading away from our hearts and confined to special occasions like Independence or Republic day.

However, the country still retains its uniqueness of keeping in her lap the diversified culture and customs that were restored by our Iron Man, Shri Vallabh Bhai Patel, when he joined the scattered princely states into One

India. Yes, the squabble and discontentment continue in many States, but it’s similar to a big joint family, where members have differences of opinions and ideology but remain together.
