"HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY"

I DON'T SUPPOSE INDIA TO BE AN INDEPENDENT NATION . BUT ITS ACT TOWARDS THIS REPUBLIC DAY WAS QUITE AWESOME . just go with this info behind 26 January friends .

India achieved independence from British rule on 15 August 1947 following the Indian independence movement noted for largely peaceful nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience led by the Indian National Congress. The independence came through the Indian Independence Act 1947 (10 & 11 Geo 6 c. 30), an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that partitioned British India into the two new independent Dominions of the British Commonwealth (later Commonwealth of Nations): India and Pakistan.[3] India obtained its independence on 15 August 1947 as a constitutional monarchy with George VI as head of state and the Earl Mountbatten as governor-general. The country, though, did not yet have a permanent constitution; instead its laws were based on the modified colonial Government of India Act 1935. On 28 August 1947, the Drafting Committee was appointed to draft a permanent constitution, with Dr.B. R. Ambedkar as chairman. While India's Independence Day celebrates its freedom from British Rule, the Republic Day celebrates the coming into force of its constitution.
A draft constitution was prepared by the committee and submitted to the Assembly on 4 November 1947.[4] The Assembly met, in sessions open to public, for 166 days, spread over a period of 2 years, 11 months and 18 days before adopting the Constitution. After many deliberations and some modifications, the 308 members of the Assembly signed two hand-written copies of the document (one each in Hindi and English) on 24 January 1950. Two days later, it came into effect throughout the nation.

Picture perfect

still few hearts persists  

On 22 January 2014, Greenpeace activists draped Essar's 180ft tall building in Mumbai with a giant 36 ft X 72 ft banner which read, 'We kill forests: Essar'. The banner also had pictures of the Environment and Forest Minister, Veerappa Moily and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Twelve activists scaled the building wearing tiger costumes - a symbol of protest against the proposed destruction of Mahan forests – a biodiversity rich sal forest in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh. They demanded that Essar should drop its plans of plundering the Mahan forests with their proposed coal mine, and that the PM should sack the newly anointed Veerappa Moily, who has been granting environment clearances at break-neck speed with a complete disregard for forests and human and wildlife that depend on them.

Just make a note of it

People usually do praise our country's RED FORT .
But many among them are not aware of the fact that after the 1857 rebellion, British forces destroyed a large part of the fort before building military barracks. The fort which we are seeing right now in new delhi is just a part of the original one ...

Aam Aadmi Party does not rule out Arvind Kejriwal contesting Lok Sabha polls

Aam Aadmi Party on Thursday did not rule out Arvind Kejriwal contesting the Lok Sabha polls, with an AAP leader saying no decision has been taken on whether Delhi MLAs or the chief minister would be in fray.

"No formal decision has been taken by the election committee on whether any (AAP) MLA would not contest Lok Sabha elections," Yogendra Yadav said.

"The party has also not taken any decision that Arvind Kejriwal will not contest elections," he said, indicating that the Delhi chief minister may be in the race for Prime Minister's post if the party is in a position to form the government.

Kejriwal had earlier said that he would not contest the Lok Sabha elections and no AAP MLA would be allowed to fight the polls.

When asked by reporters over Kejriwal's statements, Yadav said, "He said this on basis that if MLAs are interested in contesting the Lok Sabha polls then how are we going to run the government. Anyways, we just have 28 MLAs."

The great MARUTHANAYAGAM PILLAI

courtesy : Kamal haasan
pic : sorry original pic was not found .. this was the pic took when kamal sir imitated as marudhanayagam pillai

About : Muhammad Yusuf Khan (1725 – 15 October 1764) or Maruthanayagam Pillai (correctly Mathuranayagam Pillai) was born in Panaiyur, Ramanathapuram District, Tamil Nadu, India in 1725. From humble beginnings, he became a warrior in the Arcot troops, later Commandant for the British East India Company troops. The British and the Arcot Nawab used him to suppress the Polygars (Palayakkarar) in the south of Tamil Nadu. Later he was entrusted to administrating the Madurai country when the Madurai Nayaks rule ended.
Later a dispute arose with the British and Arcot Nawab, and three of his associates were bribed to capture Yusuf Khan; he was hanged in 1764 in Madurai.

Legendary death : A legend is that he was hanged three times before he finally died.The brief story is that after he was sentenced to death by hanging he was hanged twice and the rope got broken.The British then ordered for a rope which were toughness-tested by mighty elephants.It was by this rope that he died.

Remarks : In 1808, a small square mosque was erected over the tomb in Samattipuram, in Madurai, which exists to this day on the left of the road to Theni, at Kaalavaasal, a little beyond the toll-gate, and is known as 'Khan Sahib's pallivasal'.

Too much of independence in a single pic

https://www.facebook.com/pages/India-A-Search/278083075658597

Using cinema for the country is something extraordinary ..
Whereas expressing a message like this is truly imaginary ...
Such a task could be accomplished only by this one man army ...
And undoubtedly his name is KAMAL HAASAN ..
Tamil industry is proud to have him as itz part ...

Let your ideas flourish ... best wishes kamal sir 

The man who cheated INDIA in the name of independence was perfectly spotted by this guy after 53 years (2000)
