Deleteನನಗೆ ಈ ತಾಯಿನ ನೆನೆಸಿಕೊಂಡರೆ ತುಂಬ ಬೇಸರವಾಗುತ್ತೆ, ಇಂಥಹ ಹಲವಾರು ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಗಳು ನಮ್ಮ ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಪ್ರಾಣ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಆದರೆ ನಾವು ಒಂದು ದಿನವೂ ಇವರಿಗೆ ನೆನೆದು ಮರ್ಯಾದೆ ಕೊಡೊದಿಲ್ಲ
ReplyDeleteYou are right. We people are ignorant of many past warriors, or we have neglected & forgotten martyrs of our land. However, in the past few years, government has put in immense efforts to rekindle the past, the real history which was subdued earlier. People are slowly realizing the sacrifices of freedom fighters of our land.
