What's that even got to do with it? Comparatively, we were handed our independence. We dont value it as much as say england who formulated benefits for the state since the magna carta. Let's put it under 'hygiene' but not some parrot concept of independence. I’m sorry but i dont know why everything has got tagged with independence. What’s that even got to do with it?

I feel (or I felt so when I was writing the piece) independence as we say, must have happened on two different levels, one as a celebration of a geo-political space that is free. In that sense this marks what we often say as <strong>India's independence</strong>. The second level of independence was the celebration of the people, of being free and of being in power to rule themselves and thus decide the destiny of their personal lives and that of the geo-political space that we call India. That in essence is what it means when I say <strong>Indians' independence </strong> I used <strong>Indians</strong>' instead of <strong>India</strong>'s as I find it more appropriate. A geo-political space cannot decide its fate. <strong>India's independence</strong> is less crucial than <strong>Indians' independence</strong> in taking the nation where its going - be it forward, reverse or sideways.

I used Indians‘ instead of India’s as I find it more appropriate. A geo-political space cannot decide its fate. India’s independence is less crucial than Indians’ independence in taking the nation where its going – be it forward, reverse or sideways. Makes sense?
