We often come across stories and news which fills us with gloom and hopelessness. However, there are times when we get to know about the efforts of some common people - the efforts which leads to revolutions - which leads to positive change.
For Independence Day this year, let us celebrate this positive change. Let us share the stories of the uncommon-common people who stand as living testimonies for all of us to see.
India and Bharat.. the two names our country.. its an old discussion..
I don't mind if our country is called by two names in two different language..
Obviously "Bharat" is the older name.. and english name "India" came very late.. We may co-related "India" with "Indus" or "Indoi" or "Sindhu". but is there a solid document why and how we got this name. I did not find one...
Or its the fact that Britishers gave us the name... and its related to "Adiwasi" as being called in USA like "West-Indian", "Red-Indian", "American-Indian".
