Though it has been many years since our Independence, let us not forget to remember the great leaders who fought for our freedom. Most importantly, let us remember the way we achieved our freedom. We were the pioneers of non-violence freedom movement in the world. Non-violence is a concept that has been preached in almost all religions, we have implemented the same under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi to attain our freedom.
