Happy Independence day!!!
70 years ago, in 1947 India became free from British colonialism.
Haven't been blogging lately, so this is a bit late! Happy Independence Day ~ beautiful country and people. My co-worker and her husband are visiting India for a month in a few weeks, they are so excited!
Congratulations on celebrating your Independence. Ideally, all humanity should be free to choose while having access to decent healthcare, adequate housing, sustenance and education. Unfortunately, the world is far from achieving any of these.
Hello dear Ruby, it is very heavy for this loss and I thank you for your prayer and strength. Our lives have been changed for the first time and the loss and pain remain. Jahnay is in our hearts but the grief is still too big. His life was indeed brutally cut off and 2 minutes before that we were still eating together. Thanks again.
Happy Independence Day.
ReplyDeleteIt worked well on the whole.
Thanks Adrian!! Certainly, social reforms introduced by the British helped in a big way!!
DeleteI think India has come a long way in the 70 years. Not bad compared to some of the nations around the globe.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, but we still have to root out corruption, bribery and minority favoritism.
DeleteI am glad it turned out well, yet again the fault of the British.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bob!! We still have a long way to go.. too much corruption and bribery.

ReplyDeleteWell, this is horribly past the time of your celebration, but... Happy Independence Day! Any day when people gained freedom is one I celebrate!!!
