Today as we freely move around in our country without anyone questioning

or imposing any kinds of restrictions on us we feel satisfied and contended.


But this satisfaction is due to the efforts taken by our freedom fighters to
free our country from the British rule. Its because of our freedom fighters
that today we are enjoying are freedom. Their satyagrahas, sacrifices, and
tortures have resulted in the freedom that we enjoy today in our motherland
India.
