66th Indian Independence Day - a view

Info Barn Proud to present a post on Indian Independence as its 75th post.

Happy Independence Day!!!!

Info Barn Salutes the Indian Flag, Indian National Army, Indian National Navy, Indian National Air Force for their struggle and sacrifice for the safety and security of Indian people.

We are now celebrating our 66th Independence day on this day (15-Aug-2012). Every Indian should have to take oath on any good activity that will enrich our country in terms of economy, welfare of people, safety measure or any other empowerment.
We are celebrating this day as a birth of India as a sovereign nation. As our Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh delivered his speech in red fort, New Delhi, we have to celebrate this day as "Success of our democracy". When we look at Mahatma Gandhi's vision about future India, the immediate quote which we remember always is "I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.".

Which is a real freedom? What is patriotism?.
 Patriotism should not be encouraged only on a specific day. Patriotism should stays everyday in every Indian's heart. If every goal of an Indian has its own corner for patriotism and the definitely India would be one of the powerful countries in the world. India has listed down its millennium development goals. the below are the goals.

Courtesy:http://www.economywatch.com/millennium-development-goals.html

1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger.
2. Achieve universal primary education.
3. Promote gender equality and empower women.
4. Reduce child mortality.
5. Improve maternal health.
6. Combat HIV/ AIDS, malaria and other diseases.
7. Ensure environmental sustainability and
8. Develop a global partnership for development
   India before and after independence it relied more on agriculture part. even though India second in the agricultural output, we are in fear whether this position will remain same.  A documentary on Indian Development.
    India should concentrate more on its economy, rural development, education to the poor for their future welfare, action on prevention from chronically spreader diseases and many more.

Happy Independence Day!!!!
