Today, we proudly gathered to celebrate the 79th India’s Independence on August 15,2025, marked the end of 200 years of colonial rule—a moment of immense pride and sacrifice. Our tricolor unfurled against the sky was not just a flag, but a symbol of our hard-won dignity and self-respect.
Many freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for our freedom. It is our duty to remember them and work hard for our country’s progress. Let us promise to be good citizens and make our nation proud. Let us salute the heroes, honor the martyrs, commit to preserve our Sanatana dharma, and pledge to protect our motherland with unshakable resolve
We remember with gratitude the tireless efforts of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Bhagat Singh, Chandrasekhar Azad, Khudiram Bose, Sukhdev Thapar, Shivram Rajguru, Udham Singh, Veer Savarkar, Nathuram Godse, Rani Lakshmibai, and countless unsung heroes. They gave their lives so that we could stand here today as free people. Their dedication, courage, and love for the country should forever inspire us.
Please remember that our freedom fighters faced inhuman conditions, imprisonment, torture, and even death so that future generations could breathe in free air.
Yes, in 1947 we achieved political independence. We gained the right to elect our leaders, frame our Constitution, and decide our future. Yet, in one vital sphere of life—religion and cultural heritage—our freedom remains incomplete.
For Hindus, the majority community of this ancient land, the right to manage our own temples and religious institutions remains restricted. This is not a well-known fact, but it is one we must acknowledge if we are to complete the vision of true independence.
Independence Day is not only about looking back—it is about looking forward. If we wish to honor the sacrifices of our martyrs, we must work towards complete freedom—political, economic, cultural, and religious.
The movement to free Hindu temples from government control is not about politics—it is about justice, equality, and the preservation of our heritage. It is about trusting Hindu society to care for its own sacred institutions, as every other community is allowed to do.
Our Duty as Citizens
Let us pledge today that:
– We will educate our fellow citizens about this unfinished chapter of independence.
– We will support lawful and peaceful efforts to restore temple administration to devotees.
– We will ensure that India’s promise of freedom is equal for all faiths.
In conclusion, let us remember the words of Swami Vivekananda:
“Freedom is the first condition of growth. Without freedom, no progress is possible.”
