- primary school– njoying the celebrations at school and the sweets that were distributed
- secondary school– little bit of revolt on why we have to come to school even on this day
- college– rebellion watch movies, hangout with friends probably celebrate with beer
- now– ???
looking back at this pattern as awareness grew the celebration lost it’s charm
now i can conceptualize independence and freedom better than in my childhood days and that brings me to some inferences
- independence is impossible we are all interdependent
- freedom at a philosophical level is always there
- freedom at a physical level is not there
- freedom at political level never used
- freedom at social level rarely used
After all this I still am impressed with all the freedom-fighters and the entire movement. they were more committed in solving their problem compared to people today. now a days problems don’t get solved much they are transmitted.
I still do not understand why we celebrate independence day when it was freedom movement and freedom fighters were involved (some where some discrepancy).
probably as a whole India wins independence and each of its citizens wins freedom?
This is one amazing video a friend has referred to me on youtube
