when did India get its freedom ?
- 1950
- 1948
- 1949
- …
- ?????
- please don’t record this
Shocked or puzzled ? these were just some of the answers people gave to the question on Vijay TV. This truly came as a surprise to me that people who were more than 20 yrs old (aka supposed to be mature people and most seem to be educated) answered like this.
I am not angry or sad for these people both of which is useless to solve the problem. I am just happy that atleast Vijay TV did a good program on the martyrs and freedom fighters of India.
On another note, quite unintentionally my post on declaration of independence is followed by a post on Freedom.
lets see how this goes. i must post regularly . how “reglularly” ? and how useful they are to others are the most important things. which is the point of having this blog

That is sad. Ignorance is disease which is fast spreading among educated classes in India. Its the Indian version of “Dumbing down America”.
