Dear Bosco, Probably most of were born post Independence (Freedom at Midnight), but what we should appreciate is the fact that we are proud Independent secular country, despite so many castes, jatis, ethnicities, united we stand, we do not tolerate 'dictatorship' and we are free to spit our 'pan' anywhere, as our democracy, no joke, is the best in the whole wide world, despite the 'unavoidable' 'hand warming (corruption from chaprasi, cops, and practically every step). Of course, school children get sweet laddus as well (at least we used to!!) I say mera Bharat Mahan!!. Happy 'Saalgirah!! Maurice PS any thiatr in GTA?
