A new start on an auspicious day

Wish you all a Happy Independence Day. I start this blog with great enthusiasm, hoping that I will be able to inspire and influence readers in a positive way. 62 years ago, on the same day, our great leaders and freedom fighters brought us a great gift, our Independence. Mahatma Gandhi was the most instrumental in uniting us, irrespective of caste, region or religion. The fact that Indians were way behind the British in terms of armor and firepower is true. There is no way that violence could have helped us in overpowering them. Instead, the path that Mahatma chose brought consensus among Indians and forced the British to put their weapons down.
