It gives me great pleasure to greet all the people of India living in the country and abroad. My book I choose to be independent fills with the advent of knowing how we struggled earlier, "The wounds of past and freedom of today ".
Also the youth of India should be the special pride of being citizen of a free Nation. We gratefully remember of freedom fighters and Martyrs Who sacrifices have enabled us to live in an independent nation.
The ethos of our freedom struggle forms the foundation of modern India.
