INDIA: A HARMONIOUS POTPOURRI
As rightly said by Mark Twain,” India is the cradle of human race , the birthplace of human speech,
the mother of History , the grandmother of legend and the great grandmother of tradition.” India is
one of the most ancient thriving civilizations of the world and a hotspot for tourists.It shelters 1.3
billion people who are of diverse ethnicities, yet are all united by the Tiranga.
Our nation got its independence of the 15th of August ,1947.It was achieved through the
perseverance of our freedom fighters like Gandhi Ji, Sarojini Naidu, Jawaharlal Nehru,
Subhash Chandra Bose among numerous others. We were one of the first countries to
achieve our freedom by a non-violent struggle.
Our Constitution, framed by Dr. B.R.Ambedkar imposed on the 26th of January,1950 that declares
our country to be a “sovereign,socialist,democratic,republic”, is the longest Constitution in the
world and makes our country the world’s largest democracy as well.
Our rich traditions, dating back to thousands of years are being followed to the notch, right up to
this date along with the incorporation of modernization. Our citizens pioneer in each and every
sphere of life. Algebra, trigonometry, calculus and the number “0” were invented in India. We have
imbibed fitness in the global citizens through Yoga and martial arts. Ayurveda, one of the most
ancient medicinal techniques,was also developed in our country. Our architects have built
countless monuments in the memory of our beloved ancestors that have withstood the ravages of
time. The Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World is also situated in India. Our diverse
land is home to many other UNESCO World Heritage sites such as Hampi.
Not only did we have a glorious past but we are also living in the prosperous present era. We are
home to the largest population of youth, the second most massive amount of internet users and English
speakers in the world. India boasts an extremely good track record in education and sports. We have
never lost even a single Kabaddi World Cup till date! India is the first country to successfully launch a
satellite to Mars in its very first attempt. Moreover, our country provides a mammoth amount of
Information Technology professionals to many international and indigenous companies. We have
achieved a remarkable feat of the world’s tallest statue of Sardar Vallabhai Patel as well.
Apart from this, India spearheads all other countries in terms of its diversity in land, language, culture
and tradition. It is estimated that over nineteen thousand languages are spoken in our country! Also,
our country nurtures people of various faiths in such a harmonious way that our brotherhood
and integrity is an example of co-existence worldwide. Our mouth-watering cuisines, our hospitality,
our utmost devotion in following our customs makes us stand apart from the rest. India is home to a
plethora of landforms as well. May it be the Himalayas, the Deccan Plateau or the coastal plains, all
mesmerize their onlookers with their serenity and beauty. India also hosts the Kumbh Mela in every
twelve years which is the largest congregation in the world! Such is the opulence of our beloved
country.
India is heading towards a promising future as well. Our country is prospering through the “Make in
India “ campaign through which new employment opportunities are being provided to our
countrymen , thereby boosting our economy. Our country will be having the world’s foremost
radioactive reactor that will run our factories and workspaces efficiently. Numerous other scientific
feats are expected to be achieved by our fellow countrymen.
I would like to conclude by reiterating that we are extremely privileged to be the citizens of India
whose unity lies in the diversity of its people. India etches its splendour onto the minds of every
onlooker and leaves them with a perpetual impression Though each one of us is different in our
customs, our hearts beat with the same cadence as our homeland that has blessed us with abundance
and grace. Jai Hind!
