Essay on India After Independence
Essay on India After Independence
By vidyadharghate on June 29, 2011 in Essays
India got freedom on 15th August 1947. Many unknown heroes risked their lives so that all of us may breathe in freedom. Achieving independence was a tremendous task.
After the building of the country began in right earnest. India is heading towards major superpower in the world. During the last sixty years, India has seen many up and downs.
Typically speaking, if a person reaches 63 years of age, he is labeled as an ‘Old Crippled’. One can construe the picture of a man who is bed-ridden, invalid and too old to respond to any kind of treatment.
He just lay aside, cherishing its blooming youthful days or he employs his time by playing with his grandchildren, but now the things have changed.
India is a 63 years old country, but is still very young, highly energetic and is working enthusiastically towards its betterment. India was free from the clutches of British in 1947.
We still remember those stalwarts who sacrificed their lives to free us from British’ cage enabling us to fly freely, independently in the air.
We all know and have studied umpteen numbers of times about it in our History books. We studied what all “Our Father of the Nation”- “Mahatma Gandhi” did. We all our aware of the Jaliianwala Bagh tragedy and many such sacrifices.
We normally say that British ruled our country – they exploited us. But, what they have given us is unity. They united our country. However, we remained united till their time only, what happened after that? Today in most of the families the two brothers are at daggers drawn with each other. Everyone under the sun has become self-centered. We all curse British, but become eagerly excited, over-enthusiast ic when we get an opportunity to go abroad, like to the Big Apple. After all, who wants to stay in a country endowed with unemployment, extreme poverty, filthiness, corruption, dowry deaths and all other social evils, but remember the case

    Different perspectives suggest the different approach in evaluating Gandhi’s role. One could argue that he was one of the greatest men in India’s history as “he gave shape and character to India's freedom struggle” moreover, he even “sacrificed his own life” for the sake of granting India its independence. Certainly, Gandhi could be argued to be the crucial role in the freedom struggle of India as he was the…

    "All the leadership had spent their early years in England. They were influenced by British thought, British ideas, that is why our leaders were always telling the British "How can you do these things? They're against your own basic values.". We had no hatred, in fact it was the other way round - it was their values that made us revolt." -Aruna Asaf Ali, a leader of the Indian National Congress. (Masani, quoted in Wood, 32, 1989)…

    In History, we have always learned about heroes, leaders, and people who made accomplishments that in a way have changed the world. We live for what others have done. Any courageous step taken by an individual in order to achieve a goal, a belief, and seek for a right, comes only from a person with leadership, huge spirit, and greatness. We have always looked back at leaders in our history that have made life easier for us. For that, I would like to write about an extraordinary personality that has achieved a big, difficult step for the good of Indians. Mohandas Gandhi is considered for many people the man of the century. This poor man has done what powerful political rulers couldn’t do. The Mahatma had fought and joined many Indians against the British Rule. Not giving up for years, he succeeded in gaining independence. This Essay will talk about Gandhi’s journey of leadership and Independence. It will first briefly talk about his youth and education, and then it will discuss the beginning of his experiences and lessons in life, where he got his ideas from. It will also include the main causes that led him into his revolution of faith and truth, and the steps that led him into his nonviolence resistance and civil disobedience.…

    A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. 1.1 These are the words of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, in his speech marking the Independence of India on 14 August 1947.

We got freedom on this date and it is a day worth a celebration. When wecelebrate it hoisting the flag, playing our National Anthem with fervour, distributingsweets, we need to sail back into the past to remember and pay homage to thebuilders of our nation.My dear friends,We were the privileged lot to have been born in free India. We were able to breathethe fresh free air since our birth. If at all we want to know the pangs of agony of being slaves under a foreign rule, we must ask our elders born before 1947. It wasindeed a Himalayan task for every Indian those days to fight against those powerfulgiants – the British rulers. We must not allow those hard times and struggles fadeaway from our memories.Hence it is befitting for us to celebrate such National festivals and recall thoseheroic deeds of our National heroes. We remember them today. Right fromMahatma Gandhi to the local patriotic leaders we owe our gratitude. When we regard those martyrs who laid their precious lives for our sake, we must not ignore the common people who sacrificed their lot for the good cause. There were farmers, land lords, businessmen, teachers, writers, poets and students who helped the land achieve the long cherished freedom.…
