Answer 5

With the changing time and the thinking the word patriotism is getting diluted meaning in the present governance of India.

There was a time where the people admired the heroes of Independence... but some ministers of cabinet ranks are not ready to accept the freedom fighters like Veer Savarkar  and one can imagine the Independence day celebrations with such disintegrated leaders who divide the people within the country for the political gains and as you said it is only the speeches...bla.. bla.. bla...   But we have to change such a situation and create a New India for the younger generation of this country by making them aware of true patriots who gave their life for independence and imbibe the great cultural value of this nation... Let us heartily celebrate the day.

Answer 6

same o...same o...routine....

Answer 7

NO . real Natives know the cost and do not celebrate it.

Answer 8

Unfortunately not like festivals like Diwali, Holi, Id ,Goodfriday , Guru Nanak's birthday and scores of other festivals are celebrated with sweets ,colours, worshiping etc  in indian homes. Importance of Independance day is limited to having routine proceedures in public places by Govt. agencies and other establishments and sentimental value has gradually diminished. How long the assemblies at public places on independance day will also continue is to be watched and seen as public in general is getting gradually disenchanted and frustrated with the way things are going on and sufferings and injustices for common man at the hands of those in authority and places of power are increasing to unbearable levels.

Answer 9

NO! people celebrate only for the joy of it. most of them don't even know why it is celebrated and who were the people that fougth in india to set it free.

Answer 10

yes, sure all indians,

Answer 11

Many  Indians, who are suffering from Natural calamities, political turmoil,Economic backwardness etc, will not celebrate the Independence day with same zeal and enthusiasm ,as happened in 1947. We are Independent politically but we have not got Economic freedom after 60 years of Independence, On the Independence day, we must swear to eradicate poverty, unemployment, Inequalities, illiteracy, and various problems in the field of health and sanitation . Thanks

Answer 12

no I doubt it.

Answer 13

No, they don't since they find that they have been cheated by their political leaders! All Indians can see that celebration of Independence Day and Republic Day have become compulsory official formalities in Govt. offices. The general public  is a disappointed and  dumb lot only to find that the real Independence is being enjoyed by politicians who mind their own business of amassing wealth for their generations and majority of whom are not bothered about the country. No body remembers those selfless sons of Mother India who gave up everything including their lives to bring independence.  Since politics has become a synonym for power and wealth, outlaws and goondas are adopting it as their respectful profession which does not require any qualification or noble qualities. This trend has killed the zeal and enthusiasm of the general public.

Answer 14

not everybody
