Independence days
This spring term, a lot of countries around the world have celebrated their Independence
Day. This section of the newsletter aims to share insights into some of these countries’
independence days. These short articles will explain the history behind the days, the
significance to the countries' cultures and some of the ways that they are celebrated.

We will be showcasing the following Independence days:

Ghana
The Gambia
Bangladesh
Mauritius
Grenada
Adwa Day- Ethiopia
Ghana Independence day
On March 6th, 1957, Kwame Nkrumah, the first Ghanian Prime Minister, also called 'The father of Ghana',
announced freedom.

He declared to his people that there was a new future ahead for
Ghana, not only because of their newfound freedom, but also in
the country’s new name and flag, created to celebrate this
achievement. Before being called Ghana, the British imperialists
had named the country after its most commonly found resource
- Gold. Therefore, Ghana was previously known as 'The British
Gold Coast'.

The name ‘Ghana’ was chosen based on the remarkable meaning

of the word. ‘Ghana’ means warrior in the language ‘Akan’, Akan
being one of the official languages spoken in Ghana. Green, red,
yellow and black became the new colours that would represent
Ghana and its revolutionary milestone. Although the colours are
a representation of the pan-Africanist movement, they are also
personal to Ghana’s history. Red represents the blood shed by
the many enslaved Ghanaians and those that sacrificed their
lives fighting for their independence. The green is a symbol of the
vast nature found in Ghana, along with the gold/yellow colour
that symbolises the country’s mineral resources including gold.
Lastly, the black star, which plays a significant role in Ghanaian
identity, represents the anti-colonial movement led by Kwame
Nkrumah.

Fun fact: In sporting competitions, Ghanaian teams are often referred to as ‘The Black Stars’ due to the bold
star on their flag.

The Ghana we see today is impressive and different to the empire it once was. Ghana was a blend of multiple
countries, including today’s Mali, Senegal and Mauritania. Ghana is in West Africa and borders Togo and Cote
D’Ivoire. Its capital city, Accra, is the most populated city in the country and is also the commercial hub of
Ghana. The country is made up of 6 major tribes and has more than 50 official languages. Although English is
widely spoken in the country, Akan is the most spoken language after English.

Each year Ghana celebrates its Independence Day centred around its gorgeous and extravagant culture. On
March 6th, Ghanaians from around the world gather to celebrate using food, music, carnivals, parades and
other events. Ghanaians enjoy cuisines such as jollof rice, stews made of tomatoes and fish/chicken/beef.
Other dishes include fufu - made from cassava flour, Banku, Okra soup and many other street food dishes that
are popular across the country. As music is a big part of the Ghanaian culture, on Independence Day a lot of
instruments and songs are often blasted through the streets on top of the locals’ cheers. Each year, locals
gather at ‘Black Star Square’ in Accra to celebrate being the first sub-Saharan country to have achieved
independence.

We would like to congratulate Ghana on its 67th birthday this year!

THE Gambia'S Independence day
The Gambia is the smallest country in mainland Africa. To put this into perspective, it is approximately half the
size of Wales! It has a short coast on the Atlantic Ocean, but is otherwise completely surrounded by Senegal.

Despite this, it is one of the most densely populated countries in West Africa. There are multiple ethnic groups
living alongside each other in harmony, the main one being the Mandinka people who make up about one third
of the population. This is then followed by the Fula, Wolof, and Jola people. Each group has its own identity,
language, music, cultural traditions and even caste systems. However, there is little to no tensions between
tribes. It is a country that is rich in culture and history and the people there take pride in their heritage.

The Gambia was liberated from the British Empire on the 18th February 1965. They celebrate their
independence annually on this day. Its transition to independence was quite peaceful in comparison to other
countries. In 1963, two years before their independence, the UK granted the country internal self-governance.
The Duke and Duchess of Kent travelled to The Gambia to mark the event, which celebrated the end of 300
years of colonial rule. The new motto of “Progress, Peace, Prosperity” was adopted and is often quoted on
Independence Day.

On the Independence Day itself, most people in the Gambia spend the day participating in marches and
cultural events around McCarthy Square in Banjul, the capital. It is regarded as a national holiday, and so the
president will attend the celebration at a national gathering alongside government dignitaries and
representatives from the Commonwealth. Local schools, different religious groups and organisations also
attend.

Fun fact: You may be wondering which is the correct way to refer to this country, Gambia or The Gambia? Well,
the correct way is The Gambia. When The Gambia was first explored by the Portuguese, they named the
country after The River Gambia, therefore this became its name. After the British colonised the country, the
country still retained the name. In 1964, prior to the country’s independence, Prime Minister Dawda Jawara
wrote to the Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for British Official Use, requesting that the name
“The Gambia” kept the definite article, to reduce confusion with Zambia, which had also recently become
independent.

Did you know: The Gambia and The Bahamas are the only two countries in the world whose shortened
official name must start with the definite article 'The'.

Bangladesh Independence
day
BBangladesh, as we know it, was formerly a part of the British Raj which also included modern day India and
Pakistan. The British Raj was formed in 1858 and Bangladesh was formed as an independent country in 1971 on
the 26th March.

The dissolution of the British Raj occurred in 1947 and led to the formation of India and Pakistan. India and
Pakistan were separated due to the different religions. India was predominantly Hindu and Pakistan was Islamic.

Bangladesh was previously called East Pakistan. After an internal

crisis in Pakistan in 1971, Bangladesh was formed. The internal
crisis was a civil war in Pakistan and was caused by cultural
differences between East and West Pakistanis. The common
ground between East and West Pakistan was religion but other
than that, there were a multitude of differences. One cultural
difference was the language. In 1948 the official language of East
and West Pakistan was established as Urdu. However, a large
proportion of people in East Pakistan spoke Bengali. The language
barrier exacerbated the pre-existing tensions between different
ethnic groups. In 1970, a cyclone hit East Pakistan and
approximately 500,00 people died. The East Pakistanis believed
the government was too slow to respond to the crisis.

Thus, resentment built up towards the government, which contributed to East Pakistan's desire to be
independent. Moreover, there were political tensions following the election of 1970, where an East Pakistani
party, Awami League, won. They advocated for more freedom for East Pakistan and a separate government.

Many Bengalis believed the West Pakistani government was attempting to stop the formation and political
power of East Pakistan. Awami League's leader, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, started a campaign which involved
breaking laws to show that they weren't prepared to accept this. Its supporters also attacked people who
weren't Bengali. This inevitably led to a conflict between the two Pakistans. A war broke out between Mukti
Bahni (East Pakistan independence fighters) and the Pakistani military.

Many East Pakistanis fled to an Indian province called West Bengal. Due to the flood of refugees into India, East
Pakistan was supported by India in the civil war. Within two weeks of India’s support, the war was won and
victory was secured. Overall, the war lasted for 9 months and East Pakistan became known as Bangladesh on
the 16 December 1971.

The name Bangladesh is in reference to the ‘Bay of Bengal,’ which historically was of great importance to the
people living beside it. It was used as a highway of transport, trade and cultural exchange between diverse
peoples encompassing South Asia and Southeast Asia. However, the exact meaning of ‘Bangala’ is unknown, the
most widely accepted origin is that native inhabitants of the area were referred to as the ‘Bengali’ or ‘banga.’
The suffix, ‘desh’ stems from the Sanskrit word ‘deśha’ which translates to ‘land’ or ‘country.’ Thus, the name
Bangladesh means, ‘Land of the Bengals.’

Mauritius independence
day
On the 12th of March 1968, Mauritius broke free of the
colonial grasp of Great Britain. The country had been a
prime target for European countries, looking to establish
control and trade routes in the Indian Ocean. The British
government had brought indentured servants from around
the world to serve as labour on their plantations. The
increasing call within Mauritius for independence was
recognised by the British Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan,
who proposed that ‘the wind of change is blowing through
this continent’, stating the British government’s intention to
give independence to many of its overseas colonies.

However, this would never have become a reality without Mauritius’s

own activists, including ‘The Independence Party’- with both Sookdeo
Bissoondoyal (founder of the Independent Forward Bloc) and
Seewoosagur Ramgoolam (who would eventually become Mauritius’s
first Prime Minister) relentlessly campaigning against British control
and for the country’s own self-rule. The date of the 12th of March
would become synonymous with Mauritian independence, as it would
also be the day in 1992 when it became a republic.

To commemorate independence there is an official flag-raising ceremony, with cultural sega music (traditional
instrumentation includes the ravann, a goatskin covered drum, the triangle, and the maravann) being played
around the country in live concerts (recently by artists such as Alain Ramanisum and Ziakazom.) This music is
accompanied by the official dance of Mauritius, sega, which is known as the musical expression of the Mauritian
way of life: joy and liveliness. The celebrations aren’t limited; traditional Mauritian cuisine is cooked and shared
with neighbours and the local community, including dholl puri (a flatbread stuffed with lightly spiced yellow
split peas) and napolitane (a sweet pastry traditionally consisting of two shortbread biscuits filled with
strawberry jam). The national anthem is also sung with pride around the island, with its lyrics stating that: ‘we
gather as one people, as one nation, in peace, justice and liberty.’

In 2020, the official song ‘Dan Larmoni Lanatir’ was launched to celebrate Independence Day, written and
composed by Gaëtan Abel and Gérard Louis. It was later performed at a cultural show held at the Champs-de-
Mars in Port-Louis, where celebrations were themed ‘towards an inclusive, high income and green Mauritius,
forging ahead together’ according to the Minister of Arts and Cultural Heritage and watched live by over 5000
people. Many events raise money for local charities, including the Sapinda Rainbow Foundation (which provides
support to people living with HIV/AIDS) and the Time and Tide Foundation (a charity that works to protect the
environment).

Grenada Independence
day
Grenada, once a French colony, then soon after a Crown colony of Britain, finally gained independence on 7th
February 1974. After the fall of the Federation of the West Indies in 1962, Britain tried to form a smaller
federation with what was left of their Caribbean colonies. They developed the concept ‘associated statehood’,
and under the Associated Statehood Act, passed on 3rd March 1967, Grenada gained full control over their
internal affairs. After the perseverance of Eric Matthew Gairy and representatives of his party GULP (Grenada
United Labour Party), Grenada was formally granted official independence almost 7 years later. The USA
recognised the independence of Grenada that same year, maintaining political relations. As a fully independent
state, they continued to follow a Westminster parliamentary system, with a Governor General to replace the
Head of State and a Prime Minister to be the Head of Government.

The current red, green and gold flag, decorated with stars and nutmeg, was first raised on 7th February 1974 as a
symbol to the whole nation of their independence, as well as the independence of Carriacou and Petite
Martinique.

Grenada was discovered by Christopher Columbus but

before the 14th century, Grenada was settled by Caribs, who
displaced the earlier population of Arawaks. In the 18th
Century, 62.9% of the population of Grenada were slaves.
Under British Law, in 1834 slavery was abolished in Grenada.
The transition from a colony to independence for Grenada
was not simple and involved many uprisings and coups, most
notably after Eric M. Gairy took office and was named Prime
Minister. There was lots of opposition including newly formed
opposition parties that had started to gain more control.

When Gairy was away on 13th March 1979, a new opposition party PRG (People’s Revolutionary Government)
took power and the country lost ties with the West due to the party’s Socialist ideas. After the Marxist New
Jewel Movement in 1983, the US intervened and cut the ties between Cuba and Grenada and restored the
country to a constitutional state. In 1997, the new Prime Minister Keith Mitchell, signed an economic
cooperation agreement with Fidel Castro, the President of Cuba.

Traditionally, on every anniversary the Grenadians celebrate their independence with bright parades in the
streets, ceremonies and honorary displays of culture showing Grenada’s rich history and traditions. It is a very
lively and colourful day every year to celebrate how the country gained equal rights in many areas such as
international trade, the ability for ambassadors to sign treaties and power over their own politics.

Adwa day- Ethiopia
Did you know that Ethiopia is the only country in the African continent to not have been colonised? As a
result, Ethiopia does not have a traditional Independence Day as many other countries in the global south
do. Instead, Ethiopia celebrates ‘Adwa Victory Day’.

This day is celebrated by Ethiopians every year on March 2nd.

The special celebration of ‘Adwa Victory day’ is dedicated to
the city of ‘Adwa’ in northern Ethiopia. Adwa was the site of a
battle between the Ethiopians and Italians, where the
Ethiopians thoroughly resisted attempts at Italian colonial
rule. A treaty in was signed in 1896, recognising Ethiopia as an
independent state. This resistance was an inspiration for
many Pan-Africanist leaders and the movement. Italy made a
further attempt to colonise Ethiopia in the 1930s; though
temporarily successful, the Italians were forced to withdraw in
1941.
Today, Ethiopians gather to celebrate the accomplishments achieved by their great ancestors. To celebrate
Ethiopian sovereignty, the population is often found coming out on the streets singing and cheering for their
ancestors, telling and listening to old tales about the battle of Adwa, having parades, finding time to spend with
their loved ones and more. The main event happens in Ethiopia’s vast capital, which is located almost at the
centre of the country. In Addis Ababa, governments, diplomats and the general public gather for parades at
Menelik Square. This very significant square was named after Emperor Menelik II, the man who led the
Ethiopians towards victory during the battle of Adwa. During its time, the army was considered unconventional,
as it consisted of women, farmers, pastoralists, patriots and many more- not just trained soldiers. This is part of
what makes Adwa Day so significant.
MModern Ethiopia is the largest populated
country in the Horn of Africa. It is bordered by
Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya, South Sudan
and Sudan. Like many other African countries,
Ethiopia uses green, red and yellow to symbolise
the Pan-Africanist movement. However, the
Ethiopian flag is distinguishable by its star in the
middle. It uses a blue and yellow emblem to
represent both the unity and diversity of the
country. On Adwa Victory Day, the flag can be
seen carried around with people, raised on

houses and buildings and used by government officials when delivering speeches. Ethiopia is home to an
ethnically diverse population that is categorised based on language. Roughly 100 different languages are
spoken. However, the most common languages are Ge’ez, Tigrinya, Amharic, Gurage and Hareri. These languages
originate from various regions around the country.

In the true fashion of cultural celebrations, food plays a very important part in the festivities. Traditional
Ethiopian cuisine has acquired a worldwide reputation, and typical dishes include stews that are heavily spiced
with the help of dried hot chillies. In those stews we can find beef, goat, lamb, chicken, boiled eggs or fish.
Ethiopians’ diets include a lot of legumes, and popular dishes are made of chickpeas and lentils. All of these
foods can be seen being shared on Adwa Victory Day and are usually served on a communal platter.
 Inc. events
This Spring Term, we have been extremely busy as a society. We have run fundraisers
and events for the whole school and delivered assemblies. Below are some pictures
and short descriptions of what we did and what it means to the school community.

Big Junior Inc. Kahoot:

We started off the term with a Big Junior Inc Kahoot Quiz.
We had over 40 participants and the atmosphere was
electric and very competitive. It was so much fun that some
6th formers participated; despite their complaints, when
they were placed in the top 3, they unfortunately did not get
a prize! Our questions were culture based, with questions
from the cultures of all 7 continents. Questions ranged from
the capital cities of South Africa (Cape Town, Pretoria and
Bloemfontein), to which Netflix movie recently made
headlines with winning the Oscar for Best Original Song with
the song 'Naatu Naatu' (RRR).

Bake Sale:
On Tuesday 9th February, Inc. set out to host its first fundraiser of the year – a bake
sale! All members of the team came together to make the event successful. We managed
to raise over £300 and the proceeds will go towards ensuring that we can create a great
culture day for the school community.

Shell Cook-off:

We started with the Shells' cook-off. We gave them a choice of making one of three
dishes; below is what our winner had to say:

On the 15th of March 2023, Inc Society held a cooking competition based on cultural
foods from around the world. We were given 3 recipes to choose from. Everyone had
the whole of lunch to complete their meal. 12 students from Shells took part. By looking
around I could tell that everyone was very passionate and enthusiastic about their
cooking. This cook-off brought smiles to many peoples' faces and built their confidence
in cooking. During this experience, all participants could show their skills and build new
friendships within just 1 hour! I decided to create a homemade chicken stir fry with no
recipe. The hardest part about this was knowing I was working under a limited amount
of time. With lots of effort and determination put into my dish, I was able to create a
well-presented and delicious stir fry. I then won the competition and I was able to
showcase an amazing meal from the beautiful country of China, along with winning a
prize of a £10 gift voucher to spend at a shop of my choice. The sixth formers enjoyed
all of the dishes that they tried and were very pleased with the work produced. This was
a successful event for the Inc Society and we hope to do more like this.

Year 8 Cook-off:

Here is what some of our participants of the cook-off had to say!

‘Our experience at the cook-off was amazing. There were choices of recipes between
Beef burritos, South Asian Curry and North African couscous. I decided to make a
South Asian Curry. As soon as we arrived at the food department, we were ready to
start making our meals. In the process of making our dishes, some nice sixth-formers
came around and asked questions and provided their support should we have
needed some tips. Yes, some people may have doubted us because of the limited
time we had but we made it!

We would also like to talk about some teachers who were extremely helpful: Miss
Jones, Mrs Solomon and Mrs Dennis. Thank you!

My favourite bit was making the curry and adding the side to make it fancy for the
judges! As the winner of the Year 8 cook-off, I won a £10 voucher. Due to my love for
stationery, I will be spending the money at WHSmith. I really enjoyed this event and I
am hoping to have more cook-offs and other fun activities organised by Inc.’

-Karan Gajjar 8JR, Winner

When I first came in, I was excited and was ready to cook but then the nerves started
to kick in. There were lots of people making several dishes, whether that being a
curry (which I was making) or a burrito, but I knew them all. I was getting scared.
Then I took a minute and was prepared. I had all my ingredients pre-chopped, except
my chicken as I wanted it to be fresh. I helped my friend with his chapati’s and I put
my homemade naan in the oven with a little water sprinkled on to make it light and
airy. I was the last person to give my dish in to the judges. The judges really liked
mine and I came in 2nd place with 10 points! The only thing separating me from 1st
place is that my mum helped me to make the naan. But my friend won it and I think
that he deserved to win as he is vegetarian and instead of chicken, he used paneer
so I was happy. Then, was the worst part, washing up. I don’t mind washing up, but I
love cooking. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and would love to do it again.’

-Amar Chaggar 8RNB

 Inc. events
Personally, I really enjoyed the cook-off. I had a lot of fun and the adrenaline rush
was exciting. The Inc Society was really encouraging. I can't believe how much food
we made. I'm so glad that we all decided to participate. It was great to see
everyone working together and having a good time. I can't wait to do it again next
year! The Inc Society is really encouraging us to embrace each and every one of
our cultures. I love the fact that we all worked together and if someone didn't have
a certain ingredient, we all helped out. I would like to say a big thank you to Miss
Jones for organising such a wonderful event. I know that a lot of hard work went
into it, and I really appreciate everything. I had a great time and I know that
everyone else did too. Thank you again, Miss Jones, Mrs Solomon and Mrs Dennis
for your help!’

-Angela Malunga 8JR

Easter egg hunt:

On the 29th of March, we ran a free easter egg hunt for the Shells
and Year 8s. There was lots of chocolate involved, as every
participant received at least a few mini eggs. For those who found
the most eggs, they received the prize of a big easter egg,
courtesy of Miss Jones. In our efforts to make it at least a little bit
educational, we asked each participant questions about EA The
person who answered the most correctly won a £10 voucher!! The
hunt was a success, with over 60 participants! Well done to those
who won.

 Inc. events
Henna:

Last month, Inc Society hosted an event dedicated to the South Asian and Middle Eastern
tradition of Henna. We wanted to honour and represent the community that henna forms
such an integral part of. It was a beautiful coming together of people in the creation of an
atmosphere representative of so many communities. We draped fabrics, played music and
wanted to emulate the joy and love that is so deeply rooted in the meaning and emblem of
henna.

What is Henna?
Powder that is derived from the henna plant is used in combination with water to make
henna paste. It has been used for centuries as a natural hair and nail dye, but body art is
now its most well-known application. The temporary dye has—and still is—most frequently
used to adorn both men and women during wedding celebrations.

What is its significance?

Having henna applied to your hands and feet is considerably more significant than a simple
custom since it represents the "auspicious mark" or "solah shringar," in Hindi.
The floral design, peacock design, and mandala flower are some of the most complicated
and traditional patterns.
In many Indian cultures, mandala flowers serve as potent emblems of prosperity, success,
and bravery. This is the most popular design, which bestows a balanced life to the bride.

Vision, self-expression, awakening, integrity, independence,

direction, protection, and watchfulness are highlighted by the
peacock design. The future bride with peacock decorations is
granted long life and beauty for both herself and her offspring.
Depending on the type of flower drawn, floral patterns
indicate beauty, happiness, and joy, being the favourite of
most young brides. For instance, a lotus flower represents
purity, divine beauty, and a woman's connection to her spirit.

The History of Henna

The tradition of Henna actually originated in North Africa and
the Middle East. The Mughals brought Henna to India around
15th century AD.

Culture Day:

June 30th 2023: Save the date because Inc Society is working extremely hard to bring a Culture
Day to life here at Bablake. This has been a popular request from many and we know how
significant this day is to Bablake students. With social media apps like Instagram and TikTok
displaying different Culture Days across schools in the UK, pupils are growing impatient and want
one of their own. You have asked and we will deliver!

Culture Day at Bablake aims to appreciate the diversity that we have here whilst having unlimited
fun. Bablake takes pride in its multicultural diversity, and we plan to make everyone feel loved and
acknowledged on this day. Earlier in the Spring Term we sent out a diversity survey. This gave us an
idea of the many different ethnicities and cultural heritages that are present in our community.
There are students with roots from all over the world and we believe that it is important to
acknowledge, celebrate and appreciate these.

On this day, we would like for both pupils and staff to represent their cultural backgrounds through
traditional dress. As there is also a charitable aspect of Culture Day, we are hoping that pupils will
donate £1 during their form time. This money will later be donated to Coventry Food Bank.
Although pupils and teachers will be timetabled, Inc Society is ensuring that everyone will have
lots of fun throughout the day. Additionally, we are hoping for this day to be a learning opportunity
for pupils and staff. We will educate about the various cultures that make up our community
through art, music, food, movies, linguistic dialects and so much more.

To add to this exciting news! The Senior school and the Junior school will be working together to
create an inspiring and thrilling day for both primary and secondary pupils. We plan to tailor our
Culture Day plans to suit the age groups of our Junior School to make the day unforgettable for
everyone taking part!

We know that you are curious to find out what some of our plans are, however, we are going to
keep our cards very close to our chests and let you be surprised. We are so pleased to witness the
wave of excitement from our entire community. We hope to make you proud of your cultural
heritage and we hope that you get a glimpse of Inc Society’s message and values throughout our
Culture Day.

We want to do our very best to make sure that everyone is represented at culture day. To do this, it
would be great if you could encourage your child to fill out the survey below about nationalities
and ethnicities in our school.

Iftar meal at Bablake:

We would like to wish you Ramadan Mubarak to those fasting this year!

We are excited to be a part of yet another inspiring and fun

event. This year we plan to bring back hosting an Iftar meal.
Last year, we welcomed 60 members of the community to
pray and break their fast together, whilst sharing and
appreciating one another. This enriching event was
extremely popular amongst Muslim families, here in our
Bablake Community. Last year, families felt acknowledged
and included due to being invited to be part of such a
riveting event. The emotions felt by those families align
with our values at Inc Society.
We want everyone to feel proud of their background, we want to acknowledge and appreciate
the diversity that makes up our delightful community. Having Muslim members at Inc society,
we acknowledge that it is an extremely important month for the Muslim community around the
world.
Therefore, we knew we wanted to give our members
and the rest of the pupils at the school a space to be
themselves and to share their Ramadhan joy and
spirits. Therefore, we have decided to partner up with
the Reverend Slavic to bring you an evening where
you can pray, eat and socialise with other individuals
in our community and us of course!

Food will be provided but we ask that you also bring

your own dishes from home that reflect your culture
or you could bring some of your favourite foods that
you love to cook and eat during Ramadhan.

Please, keep an eye out for any communication from Mr Wright about this upcoming, exciting
event!
