A Freedom at Midnight
A Freedom at Midnight
India get's freedom from England at 12.00am at midnight of 14thAugust1947.So we celebrate our freedom on 15thAugust.
Our 1st prime minister Pandit Nehru,adresses nation with following famous words
"At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom".
Let's we will see how British started ruling India.
Actually British rule over India started when Maratha Empire lost to England in 1818.
Then in 1857, under leadership of Nanasaheb Peshve,Rani Laxmi Bai we observed one try to lift rule of British, but some king's from north not supported and due to some misplanning it goes in vein.
Then afterwards from 1857 to 1947 so many leaders tried to lift the British rule, they are mainly
Lokmanya Tilak, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Mahatma Gandhi, Swatantrya vir Savarkar, Pandit Nehru and so many.
With collective efforts from all these leaders' British rule has to give freedom to India.
But they divided India in two parts such as Pakistan and India.
Now as a people of freedom India it is our duty to flourish progress of India in the world.
At the end of this article I will quote four lines of English Poet
Robert Frost,as follows
"The woods are lovely dark and deep
But I have many promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep"
Jai Hind
