74 years of independence has seen many milestones and advancements in a multitude

of fields for this great, great nation.

Witnessing the recent events unfold in Afghanistan, I am reminded of a quote: "Do not

give a country to the people who have not struggled for it."

Hence, it is imperative that we pay due tribute to our freedom fighters lest we forget the

struggles of our forefathers.

From having Five Year plans to ensure food security, to planning to become a 3-trillion

dollar economy, it has been a long journey not without sacrifice and hard- work.

At this juncture, while we can exclaim in pride how far our country has risen, it is also

crucial to realize that it is only because of the perpetual importance being given to

education, that we have been able to move on to bigger goals and dreams.

Education uplifts not just people, but society as a whole. Many issues still plague India

that cannot be solved only through policymaking. Through achieving literacy as a

primary objective, the country moves forward in extending this goal to other

prerogatives Eg: Financial literacy at the grass-roots level (Jan Dhan bank accounts)

Digital literacy (Through various Digital India initiatives) and Social literacy through

democratic activism and media awareness.

There are ample examples to illustrate the power of education! For it was not lightly said

that "the pen is mightier than the sword".

To part with, I would like to leave you all with the words uttered by former President

Shri APJ Abdul Kalam: "Every teacher once was a student, Every winner was once a

loser, Every expert once was a beginner,But all of them have crossed the bridge

called 'Learning'" Never stop learning on your quest for knowledge, dear

studentsand realize your true potential.

There was a mighty king ruled Hastinapur (now Delhi). His name was Sherkhan. He was famous for his brave prince named Abeer. He had ability that he can talk with any animal in the world. One day, some fishermen of that kingdom were going for fishing on their boat. Suddenly a storm came and a very big creature came out from the river and crashed the boat it threw sharp spines and killed many fishermen and went again in water. Some fishermen reached their houses injured and told their incident. Next day, some fishermen came and told the king about the incident. The king was also problematic because of the Sea Dragon. Abeer asked his father to go and check but his father denied him because he was scared that sea dragon would kill him. But Abeer was a brave boy so he went to river quietly and started sailing his small suddenly a storm came and a Sea Dragon came out from the river. The dragon was about to eat him up but Abeer fired an arrow and closed his mouth. Dragon broke the arrow and attacked him again and again. The fight lasted for many hours Abeer fired a net and trapped Dragon and asked him the problem. The dragon said- “Many sea creatures are being killed because of garbage many chemicals are being throwed in water many fishes are being killed.” Abeer said- “Oh! That is the problem you kill many humans.” “Yes” said dragon. “I will talk to my father on this topic but you shall not kill any fishermen” proclaimed Abeer. Dragon agreed. Abeer freed the Dragon and went to his father and told everything. His father agreed and announced that no one will put garbage or any harmful substances in water. Abeer went in the river and told everything to dragon. Dragon was happy hearing this and went underwater and never came out.

He always thought how to defeat Sherkhan and takeover his wealth. We he got the news that Sherkhan had bought that diamond he grew more jealous he thank what to do send one spy in form of an old sage he went to Hastinapur and sat under a tree in a yoga position. Some people of Hastinapur went to king and told about the sage he also wanted go to sage he and his family went to the sage and asked for his blessing. The sage gave him blessings and gave a liquid and said-“Take this liquid and drink it here it will bring money to your kingdom.” Abeer stopped his father and said-“No father!

A Trick on Sherkhan

One day, Sherkhan was telling Abeer about a lost sword of his religion. He said-“My

grandfather has seen this sword last time. If anyone has that sword no one can

defeat that person. But when he was fighting a battle he was killed illegally but the

sword flied and killed opponent king the sword landed where near my grandfather

and a gave came out of the ground and the battle ground was covered with forests.

No one tried to go there. Well, it is the time for royal court, Bye.”

Abeer went to his room and thought that he should find the sword. He went to

library to view his Hastinapur's map. He saw a Batte ground in the previous map.

Then viewed the new map in which battle ground was covered with dense forests.

He marked that place and went on his way quietly. While going he saw a small boy of

a tribe crying. Abeer went to the boy and asked –“What is your name and why are

you crying.” “My name is Mohan and there is a lion please save me my life is in

danger.” answered Mohan. Abeer fought with the lion and defeated him. Mohan

thanked Abeer and ask to become his friend, Abeer agreed and asked the way to

caves. Mohan told the way to caves. Abeer continued his journey to caves. He finally

reached the caves. But the door was locked. Outside the door there was a hole which

looked like Abeer's sword. He put his sword in the hole and the door opened. It was

slop from which Abeer slipped and hung on one wood he saw sword in the water. He

jumped and got sword and came out of the cave. He gifted the sword to his father

and his praised him. From then Sherkhan did not lost any war.

The theme of the 75th Independence Day is, "Nation First, Always First". It is to honour the

sacrifices made by our freedom fighters for our nation. The Prime Minister Narendra Modi

hoisted the tricolour and addressed the nation from Red Fort. The PM said that on this day, the

country remembers every person who contributed to the freedom struggle, as the country is

indebted to all of them. The British rule ended on 15th August 1947 and that's when India

became an independent nation. It also marks the anniversary of the partition of the

subcontinent into two countries, India and Pakistan. All citizens need to celebrate the

Independence Day, to keep the spirit of patriotism alive and display respect to the freedom

fighters who gave their lives for our independence.
