My Dear Family

My Dear Family
Today, we are all celebrating our 79th Independence Day !

It's a significant national day commemorating the country's freedom and sovereignty.

India's independence movement was a long and complex process that involved great sacrifices at various stages great men and women from across the country.

Here's a brief overview:

*Early Nationalism
(1799-1857)
Anti Colonial Resistance Movement started as early as 1799 and great names should be remembered are those of
Rani Mangammal
Puli Thevar
Velu Thambi Dalava
Veera Pandya Kattabomman
Rani Jhansi Bhai
Shivaji Maharaj
And many more…

(1885-1915)*
- Indian National Congress (INC) formed in 1885, demanding reforms and greater autonomy.
- Leaders like Dadabhai Naoroji, Surendranath Banerjee, and Gopal Krishna Gokhale advocated for Indian rights.

Gandhian Era (1915-1948)
- Mahatma Gandhi returned to India in 1915 and led the non-violent resistance movement.
- Key events:
- Non-Cooperation Movement (1920-1922)
- Salt March (1930)
- Quit India Movement (1942)
- Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence and civil disobedience inspired millions.

Other Key Figures

- Subhas Chandra Bose: Led the Indian National Army (INA) to fight against British colonial rule.
- Bhagat Singh: Revolutionary leader who fought for independence through armed struggle.
- Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel: Played a crucial role in integrating princely states into the Indian Union.

Final Years of British Rule (1945-1947)

British Government's grip on India weakened after World War II.

- INC and Muslim League (led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah) negotiated with the British for independence.
- Partition of India and Pakistan in 1947, with India gaining independence on August 15.

This is just a glimpse into India's complex and fascinating independence movement.

I wish to urge our young generation to get themselves acquainted with the History of our Great Nation ‘Bharat’ which has been the dream destination for many rulers, civilisations and seekers of health, wealth and spiritual wellbeing for generations.

Let us sustain the spirit of Patriotism !

Let us rejoice the providence of being born in this blessed land;
this part of the beautiful earth, which has been providing everything for us unconditionally, for millions of years.

Let’s ask ourselves ‘how can I return this benevolence of nature with gratitude.?
My answer would be
Preserve the ‘Ecological Equilibrium’.
So that at Body, mind, and intellect levels, we are aligned; in Yoga;
So that we gift a safer cleaner and harmonious universe to the generations to come.

Jai Hind
Jai Bharat Mata !
Vasudaiva Kudumbakam !
Vaazhga Bharatham !
Vaazhga Vayyakam !
