The Wonder that was INDIA!!!!!!!



Today is the Birth Day of Subhash Chandra bose A Forgotten Hero, who among many other helped India to win its Freedom.Very Less people remember this day and even very less people speak about him these days. Every one is so busy earning the Money and they forget those people who sacrificed their life for freedom and for our own future.

I just wanted people to read about it so that they can remember the great Hero.

Recently i visited Chennai for some work, and that day i came to know that "Azadi Express" train was in chennai .The train, which showcases the 'heroic moments' of the freedom struggle through tableaux, pictures, exhibits and portraits, is the brainchild of the Directorate of Advertising and Visual Publicity, the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to mark the 150th anniversary of the 'First War of Independence'.

In the first bogey i saw one poster on which Lord Macaulay's speech given around 02 Feb 1835 in British Parliament regarding INDIA was written which is reproduced below.

"I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such calibre, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native self-culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation."

From this one can know how British dominated INDIA and Indian's.

At last i want to conclude with a salutation to India and Indians " Jai Hind".

Quotes by Subhas Chandra Bose :

1. "Give me blood, and I shall give you freedom!"
2. "No real change in history has ever been achieved by discussions... Freedom is not given, it is taken.. One individual may die for an idea; but that idea will, after his death, incarnate itself in a thousand lives. That is how the wheel of evolution moves on and the ideas and dreams of one nation are bequeathed to the next..."
