A living reminder
by teherek on May 09, 2007 10:05 AM   Permalink

As long as there would be people who will think they are superior to their fellow men and there would be people who will value their freedom more than their lives there shall be these monuments and tokens of their struggle. The Sepoy Mutiny or better known as the First Battle of Independence in India is another example of this struggle when one group of people decided that enough is enough and they need to get back their independence from the tyranny and oppression of a foreign ruler. What happened 150 years ago is the what lead to the independence of the country 90 years later. Today after 60 years of our independence young people are slowly forgetting the price paid the torture and oppression and struggled that our ancestors faced to give us what we are enjoying now. We need to remind them of their sacrifices and infuse patriotism in their blood.
