The India Independence Movement & Significance of Independence Day
On August 15 comes a day which is of great significance and importance in every Indian’s life. We celebrate this day to honor our Country, its people and the rich heritage and culture it has. We remember those who sacrificed their life for us and our Country. Who didn’t give up in the face of adversities and who set a principal for all future generations to come. On this day people from all religions come together as one, be it Hindus, Muslims or Christians. This is Our Independence Day.
The struggle for Indian independence began with the colonialization of India by Europeans. They came to India as traders but over the period of time they rose to power took control of Indian affairs. British occupied most parts of India whereas Portuguese and French also had their influence on few places The first uprising which is noted in the history of independence of India took place in 1857. This first war of Indian independence, was termed as a mutiny by the British. Although not a success, this revolt sowed the seed for a new force, which was to take this struggle to its rightful end. As British oppression strengthened so did the urge to attain the freedom from it. This urge found voice in form of many great leaders such as Subhash Chandra Bose, Lala Lajpat Rai, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Khudiram Bose, Ram Prasad Bismil,Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel to name a few. These great patriots along with a lot unnamed freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for the cause of the nation. Independence from the British rule was the sole aim of their lives. This dream of millions of Indians was realized when finally India got freedom on August 15, 1947.
For every Indian, it signifies growth, prosperity, peace and unity. The colours of our Flag are based on just these principals and the blue wheel in the middle tells us to move forward with courage and honesty. No doubt the recent terrorist attack has dampened the celebrations of the country, but our spirits are forever high and being Indians, we have the safety of all our brothers too in mind.
We are known as the Developing Country, which is good as we are open to change and flexible in our measures. To lead the second largely populated country with many religions, cultures and move forward is not an easy task. Yet we are achieving it with success.
Yes there are times when fights occur, mishaps take place. But all five fingers are not alike. When in one house, the family members are not in agreement over certain issues, then in a country so vastly populated with 26 states, more than 300 languages, differences will certainly crop up, but we keep in mind everyone’s needs and move on.
We love our country and everything connected to it and are aware that many changes still have to b e implemented. The selflessness with which Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Bhagat Singh fought for the freedom, similarly we to need to fight the chains of terrorism, corruption and fights taking place in the name of religion.
Come let us celebrate this independence Day with new hopes and aspirations. Lets adopt the motto,’Tum Chalo To Hindustan Chale’. Lets move forward together, lets motivate each other to achieve the impossible. When our elders could do it then and that to without non-violence, then why cant we?
We can and we will because, this is our Country, our source of joy and pride.

Top 100 rank: 1 Population: 18,400 Unemployment: 6.3% This sunny, lively mountain town is safe (crime rates are among the lowest in Colorado) and easy to navigate. Lots of good jobs in tech, telecom, aerospace, clean energy, and health care can be found right in Louisville, and more are on their way. And there's world-class mountain biking, hiking, and skiing in the nearby Rockies. Real estate prices have barely budged since 2005, yet a typical three-bedroom house here still runs less than a comparable one in nearby Boulder. Its schools consistently rank among the top three academically in the Denver area. -Jessica Levine 2. Milton, MA

Ancient Greeks who took their cakes to Artemis placed candles on the cake because it made the cake look as if it was glowing like the moon. The Germans were good candle makers and started to make small candles for their cakes. Some Germans place a big candle in the centre to symbolize the ‘light of life’. Some say that the candles were placed for religious reasons. The candles in the cake represent life, burning brightly for a short time and then snuffed out. The person blowing out the candles is saying, "This much of my life is over -- I'll never get it back, but I still have the breath of life within me and I am in control. I will blow away the past and start anew with this wish." History of birthday celebration starts before the rise of Christianity. In some culture it is believed that on the birthday evil spirit visit .It is belief that by creating so much noise is such parties scarce away the spirits. We blow candles every year when we celebrate our birthday.
The thyroid gland is located in the neck just under the Adam's apple. It produces the hormone thyroxin. This hormone is converted outside of the thyroid gland where it becomes activated and stimulates every one of the trillion cells in the body. Almost all of our systems and functions depend upon receiving adequate amounts of this hormone. The thyroid along with the adrenals is probably the gland most susceptible to the tremendous stress of our fast paced society. It is the thermostat of the body. It produces hormones that work to keep our metabolic rate stable and keep energy-producing processes in balance. The thyroid is essential in protein synthesis, growth, temperature regulation, and oxygen consumption of cells. If the thyroid is depleted or deficient, the rest of the body functions poorly. With low thyroid, cholesterol can shoot up to dangerous levels. Thyroid disease, both hyperactive and under-active, is so extraordinarily prevalent today that even by conservative estima
How quickly will taxpayers get refunds? Following technology improvements, the IRS will issue refunds to more taxpayers in as few as 10 days this year. But taxpayers should keep in mind that many variables can affect the speed of a tax refund. The IRS issues more than 90 percent of refunds within 21 days. Why can’t the IRS tell me the exact date I will get my refund? The IRS reminds taxpayers that refund time frames provided by the " Where's My Refund? " IRS2Go smartphone application (app) and tax providers are projected time frames and are subject to revision. Many different factors can affect the timing of the refund after the IRS receives the return for processing. Also, keep in mind that the date “Where’s My Refund“ provides is the estimated date the IRS will issue the refund, not the date the taxpayer will get the refund. It may take up to five additional days for the financial institution to post the refund to your account, or for mail delivery.
The Nissan Micra managed to establish the Nissan brand in India quite effectively. The earlier attempts by the Teana and the X Trail proved too niche for the Indian market. As a result the brand was restricted to the cities and that too for people with deep pockets. The Micra made the Nissan brand available for the masses. Sure, the hatchback was comparatively overpriced with respect to its competitors. But the quirky looks and interesting features kept the customers walking into the showrooms. The hatchback now has stabilized to around 1,500 units every month. Having said that, the competitors such as the Swift, Polo and i20 are selling much more! An interesting point to note is 80% of the Micras sold in India are diesel variants. When such is the case, we found Nissan’s strategy to bring the petrol first quite confusing. Nissan India has decided to have a second go at the Indian market. With more than 15 competing products in the hatchback market, launching another hatchback product
