70th Indian Independence Day: 15 August 2016

Revolution is an inalienable right of mankind. Freedom is an imperishable birth right of all. Labor is the real sustainer of society, the sovereignty of the ultimate destiny of the workers. — Bhagat Singh, Indian revolutionary socialist.

You give me your blood and I will give you Independence. — Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Indian nationalist.

So long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you. — BR Ambedkar, economist.

Due to its rich culture and tradition we admire India as a teacher and we are its follower. — Dalai Lama, Buddhist monk.

Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been
broken up into fragments by
narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from
the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches
its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into the dreary
desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is lead forward by thee
into ever-widening thought and action-
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,
let my country awake. — Rabindranath Tagore, Indian author.
