Today i was standing at the crossroads near my house waiting for the signals to open.I saw a little boy selling TIRANGA i.e. our flag for rs.10 or so. I just asked him what he was selling."DHAJA"he replied. Means FLAG...He was absolutely right but ignorent about the republic day.HOGA KUCHH...He was totally interested in his income obviously.
I was little shocked for his ignorance but within no time i realised how many of us are really awared of the significance of the republic day?Or even our national flag?Many of us might be planning to celebrate CHHUTTI in their own way,may be shopping,watching movies,picnics etc etc..A very few people will really salute the day..the heroes of our country..most of us will forget to respect our national flag after all the celebrations get over..it is quite possible that on the next day,if we see our flag lying on the ground,will not care even to take it..WE ,THE PEOPLE...MERA BHAARAT MAHAAN..
I promise to myself that in future if i see our flag on the ground,will take it. WILL YOU?

I am sure no one will say NO to your question but very few like you can promise about the action.
ReplyDeleteProbably you will see the new generation school essays on Republic Day with sentences like "We go for picnic on republic day and purchase DHAJA from Crossroads".
I remember the one of the Republic day speech by one of our young prime minister saying "BHARAT ke ??? Swatantrata Din per ....". At that time I felt that there is no difference between PM and the boy selling Dhaja at crossroad
