India became independent and a Republic due to the
Secularism of Mahatma Gandhi;
Negotiating skills of Nehru;
Love of the land of Sardar Patel;
Peaceful disobedience of Lala lajpat Rai;
Militant attitude of Subhash Chandra Bose;
And Sacrifices of Bhagat Singh, Udham Singh, Chandershkekhar Azad, and a thousands of others.
Let's salute and thank all these noble souls for the freedom that we all enjoy!
Happy 26 January!
