With India celebrating yet another Independence Day this year, marking its 72nd year of gaining Independence, it is the time to reconsider many things. One prime issue that we need to center our thoughts to this time is our socio-political situation in the country. From female assaults, rapes, murders to denial of rights of the LGBTQ+ communities, from mob lynching to anti-national crimes, from and from freedom of reporters, fake news being published haphazardly to banning people’s food choice, not to forget the ever-rising problem of global warming and plastic pollution, there are quite a lot of issues we as a country, need to collectively address and doing so is easier said than done. However, with this new Independence Day, we should make a promise to ourselves to do every bit on our part and also spread awareness through whatever platform and to an n number of people possible.
