Page 5 - Mann Ki Baat English JULY 2022

My dear countrymen, Namaskar!
st
This is the 91 episode of
‘Mann ki Baat’. Earlier, we have
talked about so many things,
shared our views on myriad
topics, but, this time ‘Mann ki
Baat’ is very special. The reason
for this is Independence Day this
time, when India will complete 75
years of her independence. We
are all going to be witness to a
splendid and historic moment.
The Almighty has blessed us with
this great fortune. Think about it…
had we been born in the era of
slavery, then how would we have
imagined this day? That yearning
of freedom from slavery, the
desperation for freedom from
the shackles of subjugation -
how formidable it must have
been! Those days, when, every
single day, we would be seeing
millions of countrymen fighting,
battling, making sacrifices
for the sake of freedom.
Then we would wake
up every morning
with this dream
of when my
1 1
India would be free…. and maybe
that day would dawn in our lives
when we would dedicate our
lives to the generations to come,
chanting Vande Mataram and
Bharat Maa Ki Jai, spending our
youth for the cause.
st
Friends, on the 31 of July
i.e. today, all of us countrymen
salute the martyrdom of Shaheed
Udham Singh ji. I offer my humble
tributes to all such other great
revolutionaries who sacrificed
their all for the country.
Friends, I am very happy to see
that the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav
is taking the form of a mass
movement. People from all walks
of life and from every section of
the society are participating in
different programs connected
with it. One such event took place
in Meghalaya earlier this month.
