The title above is a paraphrase of what one of our leaders spoke as India was declared independent this very day almost 60 years ago, 15th August.
My country was under the imperial slavery of Britain for more than a hundred years. It took a self mobilized peoples movement that at last forced the British to go back to their land. They did go, but not without leaving behind a country, literally sucked dry of its expensive resources and strong identity that it had possessed for centuries until they arrived. India has been making efforts to get back to the same ideal for years now and its making progress. There is a lot to learn, lot to improve but…today I pray to God for my country that he may bless India and that His dramatic, over powering Kingdom influence transforms the very fabric of my nation to what he had purposed it to be originally.

Anna, we have hope for our nation! Our founding fathers inscribed our emblem with "Satyamev Jayate"- which literally means "The Truth wins". Now we know 'who' the Truth is, don't we?
yes indeed, we do
