Good Afternoon Friends.

Don't we missing something. 

Today is 9th August. 

Yes QUIET INDIA DAY. 

9TH AUGUST 1942. SORRY TO SAY EVEN PAPERS LIKE Times Of India , Nav Bharat Times FORGET THE DAY. 

Their Front page has every thing except this important news and which is not on any page.

Has it missed its relevance? But how we can forget the day and year which has given us freedom, independence? 

Can we forget our Date of Birth ? 

Than how we can forget the struggle of Independence? 

Which has given us chance to live in a free country. 

Which has given us the chance to hoist Tricolor on Red Fort.

Which made us the citizen of a independent country. 

Which made us a free citizen. 

We have our Constitution, Rights and Duties. 

Our own government.

Can we forget these leaders and many more? 

Can we forget "QUIET INDIA"

Can we forget " Bigotry tries to keep truth safe in its hand with a grip that kills it."

In Hindi : कट्टरता सच को उन हाथों में सुरक्षित रखने की कोशिश करती है जो उसे मारना चाहते हैं. - Rabindranath Tagore रबिन्द्रनाथ टैगोर 

Can we forget Netajee Subhash Chandra Bose - 

Give me blood and I shall give you freedom!

In Hindi: तुम मुझे खून दो मैं तुम्हे आज़ादी दूंगा !

Nationalism is inspired by the highest ideals of the human race, satyam [the truth], shivam [the God], sundaram [the beautiful].

In Hindi: राष्ट्रवाद मानव जाति के उच्चतम आदर्शों सत्यम, शिवम्, सुन्दरम से प्रेरित है.

Nationalism in India has… roused the creative faculties which for centuries had been lying dormant in our people.

In Hindi: भारत में राष्ट्रवाद ने एक ऐसी शक्ति का संचार किया है जो लोगों के अन्दर सदियों से निष्क्रिय पड़ी थी.

Jai HIND, VANDE MATRAM
