India arrived

15th August 2007, India completes 60 years of independence. The democracy which defied long established notions of nation building, has stood united despite differences of language, religion, culture, caste, class and gender and unlike America's melting pot of culture we remain united celebrating our diversity and give space to each view, each aspiration.
We are like an indian thali where flavours from different regions blend to form a unique flavour, 'India' yet retain its originality.
Here's to India.
