Independence Day
                                                                                                                                  The independence day is very important  for all countries  of the world. However it depends upon the country and it  patriotism. There is always history behind the independence of each country. You can not achieve independence without sacrifice of  the freedom fighters.
                                                India and America both become independent from the colonial rules of England and thousands of freedom fighters fought for the Independence. It was not easy task to get freedom. It was solely due to sacrifices of so many.
                                                 Indian independent war started from the revolt of 1858 and it ended with independence on 15 Th August 1947. However in the process lakhs of freedom fighters sacrificed their wealth, family and lives. It was Mahatma Gandhi who intensified the freedom struggle of India. It was a non violence struggle without much loss of people in the process. However some of the revolutionaries even died in the struggle.  It is said that value of our freedom  is not being much appreciated due to easy gain of  independence in peaceful manner.  We are independent but without knowing the value of it.  Hence there is a lack of nationalism, patriotism, and feeling of duties toward the nation. Ghandhiji said that we have achieved independence but not 'Surajya' i.e How to rightly govern ourselves. Besides that our prime minister Narendra Modi said once that we do not have respect for our good things but we always consider  outside things are more superior i.e. Because of our slavish mentality. Therefore much more is required to be done  to develop independence by mind and in our action.

                                                      The fourth of July was a Independence Day of  'USA' when it became independent from England. The declaration of Independence was signed on that day. America has a history of about 150 years but  has become well developed super power with spirit of nationalism, and patriotism.  It has also developed the spirit of protecting the freedom at any cost. The america has shown that it can chase the  people and destroy them if they play with their freedom. The people of America still remembers the sacrifice made by its freedom fighters and also who made sacrifice to protect the freedom. You will find the war Memorials  for the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of America. Even the freedom of America was also not achieved without the sacrifices of its Freedom Fighters and the Soldiers Revolutionary Army.  The  56 men who signed declaration of independence  of America also suffered  severely .  The out of 56 members the 24 were captured and jailed, the 12 members houses were ransacked and destroyed, the 5 members were arrested and tortured  until death, the 9 fought and died in Revolutionary War, the 4 members sons died in Revolutionary War and the 2 Wealthy members died and lost everything in the Revolutionary War., This is only to show the price of freedom. However American history shows that sacrificed made by freedom fighters are not gone in vain'
                                                      The Indian people has to still show that the sacrificed of Indian freedom fighters has not gone in vain by developing the patriotism and readiness to sacrifice every thing for the hard earned freedom. India has to come out of Slavish Mentality, Cast, Creed,and Religions in order  to prove that they are worthy of freedom.
