The Essence of Swaraj - A write-up by Funlishian Aishi Das, Grade VIII

 



The Essence of Swaraj

On the historic day of August 15th, 1947, a nation rose from the shackles of colonial oppression to embrace freedom. India, a land rich in culture, diversity, and resilience, embarked on a remarkable journey towards freedom, leaving a permanent mark on the annals of history. The story of India's independence is not merely a chronicle of political struggle; it is a saga of courage, sacrifice, and firm determination that continues to inspire generations.

 

The road to independence was paved with the blood, sweat, and tears of countless individuals who dared to dream of a better tomorrow. Leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Subhas Chandra Bose, and countless others became the symbol of hope, igniting the flame of revolution in the hearts of millions. The non-violent resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi, through acts like the Salt March, showcased the power of unity and commitment to justice.

 

However, the journey was not without its trials and tribulations. The sacrifices made by ordinary citizens, who often gave up their lives, livelihoods, and comforts, serve as a poignant reminder of the depth of commitment to the cause. Families were torn apart, dreams were shattered, and lives were forever changed, all in the pursuit of a free and sovereign nation. The emotional weight of those sacrifices echoes in the collective memory of the nation.

 

 Independence Day is a reminder that dreams, even in the face of insurmountable odds, can become reality. The resilience displayed by the Indian populace in the face of adversity speaks to the heart of the human spirit. It demonstrates that passion, perseverance, and a shared vision can overcome any obstacle.

As the Tiranga unfurls in the sky on each Independence Day, it symbolizes the triumph of unity over division, hope over despair, and freedom over oppression. The celebrations remind us that the journey towards progress is an ongoing one, demanding our active participation in the continued growth and development of our beloved nation. This day prompts us to foster inclusivity and work towards a future where every citizen thrives.

 

Independence Day is a testament to the indomitable will of humans. It's a reminder of the sacrifices and struggles that ensured the nation's freedom. As we celebrate the 76th Independence Day, let us renew our commitment to a united, progressive, and harmonious India—a legacy worthy of the sacrifices made by our freedom fighter.

  A civilization rides on the shoulders of its youth force. And when the question is of existence or sustenance of the planet as a whole, the children and the youth of the entire world need to come together, think together and act together to make that possible.

Christmas : An essay by Rumish Ali Saif, Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, India

So finally Christmas is here. This has been a long and struggling year for all of us. But I would like to keep that corona stuff aside for now. That talk has been monotonous for all of us. Celebrations are low-key this time, but the adrenaline rush for presents is not any less. I wish for two new books for the winter vacation. I have started an early preparation of vanilla and chocolate cookies and am done with the usual decoration of a Christmas tree with lights. Dan Brown books with Robert Langdon mystery and amazing facts about secret societies are all I need for a break from life’s dullness.   So I believe in Christmas magic - actually all sorts of magic and trust me it’s one of those things that spark our thoughts for the urge to know and explore more. Some people think that after a certain age, we become more realistic and less imaginative, but what’s life without a few crazy thoughts and miracles huh?   I see great scientific discoveries and inventions like th...
