Guest guest Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Since in your last Healthy India Digest you have talked about " Thoughts 0n Independence Day " by Vikas Nagpal and " It is India, Stupid? " , may I also give my sincere thoughts about it? They are deoicted in the following letter to editors: Sir, This refers to your editorially expressed hope that the next 60 years will be better than the last (TOI, August 15, 2007). But I don’t understand why celebrate 15th day of August? Are we so foolish that we celebrate a day on which Mother India (Madare-Vatan as Muslims call it) was mercilessly cut up and partitioned after sacrificing the life of millions of men, women and children.. All Indians love India as Mother India (Madare-Vatan). Then how can you celebrate that day which should be observed as a Day of Mourning? I can understand celebrating 26th January as on that day, the people of India got power in their hands through their vote to run the country democratically. The USA too celebrates only one day, the 4th of July each year. Why can’t we do the same on the 26th of January? Actually, 15th August should be observed by “beating our breasts” so that no one can dare to cut up India again. S. M. Acharya, Founder President, Save India Association, Pune.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Yes it is very sad that we had the partition. But in those pre-partition days some subversive political strategists went for the partition and the majority of the people of the country including the intelligentsia did not have any role in the partition. But the independence was achieved through the participation and sacrifice of the people of India. So it is proper that we celebrate 15th August for Independence. We may observe another day for mourning the partition.SM Acharya <smacharya wrote: Since in your last Healthy India Digest you have talked about "Thoughts 0n Independence Day" by Vikas Nagpal and "It is India, Stupid?", may I also give my sincere thoughts about it?
