It's the platinum jubilee of India's Independence

Today is the 75th Independence Day, and every year, we celebrate it with the flag hosting followed by some sports activity for the kids, as we have lot of kids on our society. Covid has spoiled everything, but with all guidelines, we did the flag hosting in the morning. The patriotism in all of us gets activated on these days (Republic day is another) , may be because that is how we grew up. And who does not remember those small sweet packets !! After all difficult shows, that little packet was the inspiration for the next year.

But things are changing - I do not see the same feelings in our next generation. Not sure, if I or we are to be blamed for that, but honestly, I myself don't feel pride in our independence and can inspire anyone else to feel proud. The patriotic me is fine, but it dies few hours after the flag hosting. It keeps asking me what have we done in these 75 years ? Are we really an independent country ? A country which has to secure it's own capital to celebrate independence ?

And a lot of other questions that hunts me within......May be a post later on that.

I don't know, but maybe bad governance stops people from being patriotic or maybe too much problems and too much life issues. Nevertheless it's an occasion worth celebrating. Happy 75th to India.

Happy Independence Day sir.😊🙏

Are we really an independent

no, we are not a few days ago I watched the movie named The Legend of Bhagat Singh. I really loved it I have that many times before that too.
but this time it was totally a different experience for me.

This is not the real freedom that they have fight for. they fight for a country free from rich and poor.
no fight for the number of religions but there is no difference at all.
the country is hand covered from one had to other.

They all didn't dream of this type of freedom and sure didn't want this type of freedom .😑

Happy independence day sir. May God bless this nation 🇮🇳❤️

Happy Independence day Sir🙏🏻🇮🇳
Thank you for sharing this with the Hive community.I hope you enjoyed this beautiful day.

Happy independence day.
This is an important day for us and we should never forget the value of the day

Hello dear friend @sanjeevm good day
happy Independence Day.
It is true there are many questions about the independence of the countries, I think that to a great extent very few are totally independent countries.
As for patriotism, I think it is because of the delicate situation we are experiencing. That you enjoy this beautiful day

Happy Independence Day! Thanks for sharing this little insight into your traditions. But yeah, I can relate to your feelings. A lot of major changes are currently happening and more are about to happen in the society around the globe. The gaps (all kinds) between individual generations will probably be bigger than ever...
