Independence of individuals talks about freedom of a nation;
Only individuals’ independence assures freedom of democracy.
What a free individual thinks and feels, does as he wishes;
If a girl can go anywhere at night wearing full jewels, there
Only can one see a nation is really free, says Mahatma Gandhi!
But “man is born free, yet he is in chains everywhere, ” says Rousseau!
Confined in circles of creed, colour and class many are collapsed!
Democracy can live in unity in diversity, coexistence and nonviolence;
This only can uphold independence of individuals and world nations!
Where can we see such democracy with independence to individuals?
Individuals have no place now with the mixing of isms in democracy!
There is no point in celebrating independence as it is just a ceremony.
To achieve independence knowledge, vision and ambition are needed
To implement ideas of talent in action to make achievements to stand!
