16 October 2022, Prajapati Brahmakumari Mahavidyalaya, Shukrtal, Muzaffarnagar – Today, under the leadership of Raj Yogini Brahma Kumari Pravesh Behen and Raj Yogini Brahma Kumari Saroj Behen from Meerut, a huge program was organized under Diwali festival in which proud fighters of Rashtriya Sainik Sanstha Exclusive ex-servicemen, patriotic citizens and women including Parvendra Rathi, Ashok Kumar, Mange Ram, Ishwar Singh participated.
Brahma Kumari Pravesh Behen and Raj Yogini Brahma Kumari Saroj Behen explained the secret of Diwali festival to the people and made them practice Raj Yoga.
Colonel Tejendra Pal Tyagi, the chief guest of the program, told that the country had become independent on 15th August. The question arises that what happened on 15th August? Had we won a war, or had the enemy lost a war, or had England, who ruled over us, been defeated in the Second World War. Was there any such big movement in India on 15th August?
Actually the opposite happened. India was partitioned. History is the witness that entire trains from Pakistan reached India full of mutilated dead bodies and raped girls. The scene was gruesome. People were crying. The displaced people were not even given a place to live in those religious places, which were allowed to stay in safe India at the behest of the then leaders. In such a situation, celebrating Independence Day on August 15 with joy and gaiety is like rubbing salt on the wounds of those families who have suffered the tragedy of partition. Celebrating Independence Day on 15th August is a symbol of slavery. Freedom is not given in alms.
On October 21, 1943, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose formed the Azad Hind government of united India. This government was recognized by 11 countries in ten days, in which Russia and Germany were included. He himself was the first prime minister of this government.
Today all the sisters and the whole house took a pledge to celebrate 21st October as "Independence Day".
