Cultural show on 15th August, 2012

The children of Pragathi School took the audience on an amazing journey of freedom struggle in India right from the singular powerful protest by the Tiger of Mysore till the ‘Tryst with Destiny’ at the stroke of midnight on 15^th August 1947 through a magnificent and well-organised cultural show on 15^th August, 2012, the 66^th anniversary of independence day in India. 

All the powerful protests against British colonialism right from Tipu Sultan upto Quit India movement came alive on the stage, ending with the prayer for true freedom “Into that heaven of Freedom my father let my country awake”. 

They didn’t stop there; they asserted that although India is free from a foreign rule, it needs to be free from dead habits of corruption, environmental and social irresponsibility. 

 

They made a united pledge to make the world a better place - not just as Indians but as fearless global citizens of the earth committed to truth and justice. 

We will be the change we want to see!
