Students show solidarity involvement in immortalizing India’s Independence!
Ramesh C. Reddy On the night of Sunday, Aug 14, 05 Indian students showed solidarity involvement in immortalizing India’s Independence Day celebration when hundreds gathered at the fence of Carnegie Mellon University under the clear moonlight sky to transform the words on the fence ‘wishing happy birthday and love to an individual’ to ‘wishing India happy birthday and love to a country’ Students accomplished their immortalizing of India’s Independence by painting the fence with the radiant colors of saffron, white, and green representing the horizontal stripes, and blue to represent the wheel. According to the Flag Code of India, "the significance of the colours and the chakra in the National Flag was amply described by Dr. S. Radhakrishnan in the Constituent Assembly which unanimously adopted the National Flag." Dr. S. Radhakrishnan explained—“Bhagwa or the saffron colour denotes renunciation of disinterestedness. Our leaders must be in different to material gains and dedicate themselves to their work. The white in the centre is light, the path of truth to guide our conduct. The green shows our relation to soil, our relation to the plant life here on which all other life depends. The Ashoka Wheel in the center of the white is the wheel of the law of dharma. Truth or satya, dharma or virtue ought to be the controlling principles of those who work under this flag. Again, the wheel denotes motion. There is death in stagnation. There is life in movement. India should no more resist change, it must move and go forward. The wheel represents the dynamism of a peaceful change.” (http://mha.nic.in/nationalflag2002.htm) The painting celebration commemorating India's 58th independence celebration lasted for more than two hours. After the painting, people held candles and sang patriotic songs circling around the fence as if they were circling around their beloved flag. The event was sponsored and coordinated by volunteers from the Association for India's development (AID) Pittsburgh Chapter. You will now be taken to a slide show of how the fence got transformed from a ‘Happy birthday banner for an individual’ to ‘Happy birthday banner for India’ with the background song of India's National Anthem. Once you start the slide show the music will stop.
