As India celebrates its 78th Independence Day, let us pledge to uphold the values of peace and unity. We stand in solidarity with India and our Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi, as we actively participate in the “Har Ghar Tiranga” campaign. White Lotus International School has distributed over a thousand national flags to preschools and housing societies, embracing the spirit of unity in diversity. Let us remember that the true essence of freedom lies not only in the absence of oppression but in our shared responsibility to ensure that every citizen can live with dignity and respect.
Today on this pivotal day, we reflect on the sacrifices of our forefathers, the challenges we’ve overcome, and the journey that lies ahead. This day is not only a celebration of our freedom and sovereignty but also a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggles in the world—the devastating effects of global wars and the tragic impact of religious conflicts.
As we honor our independence, we must recognize that the consequences of wars reach far beyond the battlefield. They disrupt economies, displace communities, and sow deep-seated animosities that can endure for generations. India, as a nation that cherishes peace, and remains committed to diplomatic solutions for conflicts, supporting global disarmament efforts, and striving to create a world where future generations can live free from the fear of war.
In conclusion, the 78th Independence Day is not just a day of celebration but also a day of reflection. It reminds us of the importance of learning from the past, understanding the perils of division and conflict, and committing ourselves to building a peaceful and united nation.
The faculty and students of White Lotus International School have pledged to uphold the values of peace and unity. Their commitment was evident during the flag hoisting ceremony on campus, where they stood together in solidarity. The school’s cultural events, beautifully performed by the students, reflected a deep sense of pride in being part of a nation on the path to becoming a global superpower—not just in research, technology, and development, but also in humanity.
