Happy Independence Day

India today completes 60 years of independence.
This is a good occassion to examine the idea of a nation.
What comprises a nation ?
For me a nation can be divided into parts , one is the human resources and other is the natural resources of a country.
The natural resource comprises the land ,the geography ,the rivers ,the forests ,the wild life and the bordering seas.
The human comprise comprises the human beings ,the culture ,the history ,the languages ,the literature ,the arts ,the sciences ,the technologies and all such stuff which is the creation of us humans and defines us.
Fortunately our country is blessed on both counts.
So the celebration of independence is not only the celebration of political freedom that we gained in 1947 and our great freedom struggle ,but it is also a celebration of all that makes us a nation.
It ia also a time to contemplate how to preserve our great cultural and natural diversity. (our great unity in diversity theme )
So once again wishing u a happy independence day.
