15th August 2011

This is our Independence Day today on 15th August 2011.

This Independence matters for all inclusive remembrances. Millions of people and their families who won this by their sacrifices remain unhonoured and unsung, even great numbers unknown, I know that history, even subaltern history, has a sense of vacuum for these ordinary women, children and men. I will light a candle when the sun sets today and keep it burning till the midnight hour when our nation continues to celebrate its 65th Independence Day. I consider that only light can undo the darkness. So keep your lights on, from dusk to dawn.
