Nehru, India's first prime minister, gave a speech to the Constituent Assembly at midnight on August 14, 1947. "At the dawn of history India started on her unending quest.she has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength. We end today, a period of ill fortune India discovers herself again." His speech inspired us with ideals about a new beginning for India.
Has India lived up to these ideals? Although the British no longer occupy India, is she really independent of their influence? While they were in India, we began to follow their traditions, their philosophies, and their lifestyle. We silently allowed them desecrate our heritage, culture and religion. Yet now, it is we, the Indians that continue to honor those who tried to destroy our culture.
