#AzadiKaAmritMahotsav
A message from @prvish

Warm greetings on the occasion of Amrit Mahotsav of independence of our motherland.

A day to remember as many of the brave and idealistic men and women who built, over aeons, this ethereal entity called India

that is Bhaarat and who lived and fought through centuries of enslavement. One lifetime is not enough for this task.

A day to remind ourselves that, in some measure, the enslavement continues in the form of colonised minds, disoriented by the distortions that have crept

into our history books.

A day to remind ourselves of our core values of vasudeiva kutumbakam (the world is one family) and ekam sat vipra bahudha vadanti (truth is one, the wise ones perceive it differently)

BUT let us not keep bleating these values like lambs and lead ourselves to slaughter.

For, today is also the day to remind ourselves of another core value of our motherland: to fight against injustice, which most often takes the form

of people, who do not believe in our core values or who have misunderstood them.

Let us also cultivate a sense of humour and not see only problems everywhere. A great many good things are happening. Let's keep our eyes and ears open to them.

Let this be a day of joy and celebration.
JAI HIND!
