HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY!

A historical day to remember our national heroes and freedom fighters, who suffered to give us a Republic nation. Let us celebrate this day with unity and urge everyone to spread harmony all over the country.

Mahatma Gandhi- the father of our Nation supported ‘swaraj’ which means self-rule. Gandhi gave it the content of an integral revolution that encompasses all spheres of life. "At the individual level swaraj is vitally connected with the capacity for dispassionate self-assessment, ceaseless self-purification and growing swadeshi or self-reliance".Politically swaraj is self-government and not good government (for Gandhi, good government is no substitute for self-government) and it means continuous effort to be independent of government control, whether it is foreign government or whether it is national. In the other words, it is sovereignty of the people based on pure moral authority. Economically, poorna swaraj means full economic freedom for the toiling millions. For Gandhi, swaraj of the people meant the sum total of the swaraj (self-rule) of individuals and so he clarified that for him swaraj meant freedom for the meanest of his countrymen. And in its fullest sense, swaraj is much more than freedom from all restraints, it is self-rule, self-restraint and could be equated with moksha or salvation."

Let us promise to build a better future for all and broaden the happiness by choosing to adopt nonviolence in our lives following Gandhi’s line.
