Let's have a small pondering session. Would you like to stress your memory? So what do you really do on India's Independence Day? Do you sit at home all day enjoying your holiday? Attend the function for the flag hoisting? Is it enough? Well if you did that, I am glad to acknowledge it. But I can bet most of you just, looked up to the flag in great pride may be for a few moments and then you were back onto your couch watching some latest pirated cd/dvd movie and enjoying the holiday. Your feelings need to augment from such few moments you looked up to the flag to your entire day. One needs to aggrandize this feeling of patriotism all year long & for entire lifetime too. One must take pride in saluting the flag and standing for the National anthem. One must also keep in mind that they are not the first ones to do it. Freedom fighters and legends have lived, died and relived in our hearts portrayed as true Indians. One should not just bank on the Indian citizenship to call themselves a true Indian. It is the feeling of patriotism that defines true nationality of a person. India is the land of the freedom fighters and legends that have snuggled the gallows for their ideals and thinking. Every drop of these martyr's blood has fought not for itself but for the country.

The concept of abstract patriotism has today become indigent instead of indigenous. India is a country where patriotism needs to be reinstituted and redefined. We all probably remember about India & invoke patriotism when there is an Indo-Pak cricket match and when terrorists bomb our trains. We definitely don't remember it when we cast our vote in the elections, when a hungry beggar who has been starving for days asks for a rupee, when we shamelessly throw garbage on the roads and yet so many times more. The feeling of patriotism should not be limited only to days like Independence Day and republic day. Sahara has taken up the initiative to create awareness about the National anthem. Sahara India Pariwar starts an initiative called €Bharat Bhawna Diwas' At 10 am on 6th May 2013, where 1,01,000 Sahara India Pariwar employees will sing the national anthem in uniform in Lucknow at one point, with over 10,00,000 Sahara India Pariwar employees singing the National Anthem at the same time from 4512 Sahara India Pariwar offices across India, Army personnel across 7 states are joining in large numbers to sing the National Anthem at 10 am, with more than1,00,000 students committed to sing along.

Sahara India Pariwar is also aiming to break the international record for the maximum number of people to sing the National Anthem at the same time, the record is currently held by Pakistan with 42,813 people singing the National Anthem the same time. On the 6th of May 2013 at exactly 10 AM, you and all our countrymen are requested to sing the National Anthem wherever you are, at home or at schools and colleges and even on the roads. Several other Indians have also pledged to join this innovative initiative to showcase national pride and patriotism to the fullest. You can use your own video recording medium to take Videos and photos of people singing the National Anthem with pride and upload it on various social networking platforms for the world to see the €Emotional Integration, National Integration of us, Indians.
