As
I was preparing my kid for her fancy dress on the theme of freedom
fighters.It was an arduous task to explain ,not who the freedom fighters
were but what freedom meant.
Unfortunately what comes
to us with ease is so taken for granted that ,we cannot even imagine a life
without the same.
For my teenager not having
freedom would mean - no wifi ,no cell phones ,no meeting friends or only STUDY.
For my little one probably
no play,no TV,no chocolates.
That made me think that
Freedom fighters truly did not mean those who fought for freedom
alone ,but they were those with bigger objectives.
They wanted to set their
mother(land ),country men ,themselves free .Free to think and act and progress
on their free will and wisdom.
Then as my kid asked
"So are they all gone?"
I realised "
NO!" .They still exist .Any one who has a desire to do some good .To bring
about Freedom of Knowledge ,Freedom from Superstitions ...etc. would be a
freedom fighter.
Our beloved Ex President
A.P.J Abdul Kalam just showed us that freedom fighters did not belong to
those periods alone .He was one ...and we all who want to do some good will
carry the baton on.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY to
all the freedom fighters.
