To him,
Who has the freedom to live under a house
Who has the Luxury of a phone to read this on
Who has the choice to marry, outside his boundaries
Who has the freedom to love outside his sex
To her,
Who can wear what she wants, because there’ll be none to question
Who can go where she wants, because she’s protected
Who can wear any lipstick on an official meeting, because no one will care
Who can marry outside her boundaries, love outside her sex, have a child when she wants- because it is her choice
To us,
Who have been privileged to live in a country,
Where adivasis have been ignored and exploited in the name of development
Where women are raped
Where freedom is curbed
Where Minorities are persecuted
Where climate change is only an EVS topic
To us,
Who live in a country where lakhs cry for independence
To us,
Who still celebrate independence but not fight for it.
As an insta post goes..
“ Jo azad hain, unhein azadi mubarak ho.”
Happy independence day
👍

Inspite of all her shortcomings, Jai Hind. Beautifully expressed.
Happy Independence Day. T&C apply, because that's how our independence is, with lot may T&Cs all over.
To an independence that has always been bittersweet since the very beginning. Happy Independence Day!!
