Most people know that on 15th August 1947 India got independence and a day before Pakistan. In fact almost the entire world was ruled by the European nations before India became independent.

My grandfather, Mr. Kantilal Jaikishandas Choksi was a freedom fighter. Staying in small town of Bharuch he had joined India’s fight for independence. Millions of such followers of Mahatma Gandhi have helped our country and the world towards becoming a better place.
Many Africans, Asians, Australians wouldn’t even know how much important this date is in improving their life. Let us Indians be proud of the contribution we have made in changing the world for the larger good. Let us as a country acknowledge the fact that our actions affect the entire world and act more responsibly. For instance our CBSE board is accepted by 24 countries across the world. This would rightly make it an international board, however we have 46 other boards in the country.

Our innovations in making Banking, Insurance, Healthcare, Sanitation and Election process are being copied across the world. While in India we have little appreciation of the same.

Today on India’s Independence day, let us celebrate our contribution to the world and say I am a proud Indian !
