August 15, 2022 marks 75 years of India’s independence. Celebrating this, we have with us, Evangeline Pearl J from United Way India, who has penned down her thoughts on the same.

If widows are alive today,
It’s because Gandhi fought for them that day.
If we’re free to express what we feel today,
It’s because Ambedkar fought for us that day.
If we’re free to study what we want today,
It’s because Nehru fought for us that day.
If we’re free to follow our religion today,
It’s because Subash Chandra Bose fought for us that day.
We owe our independence to the numerous leaders,
Who nearly gave up their lives to make India what it is today.
As we remember their sacrifices today,
Let’s fight for our children to have a better world someday.
