Keeping the fervor of Independence still intact, let us understand the importance of the 22nd of August. On this day, the father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhiji, burnt all the clothes bought from the British as a protest. We did not get independence just by sloganeering. Countless men and women sacrificed their lives. It is because of their sacrifices that we are leading normal lives. Mahatma Gandhiji formed NIC in order to fight the discrimination faced by our traders in Natal. The Swadeshi slogan was first raised here.
On a pleasant note, St. Sophia Convent High School is celebrating 'VARAMAHALAKSHMI' today. As we believe in a holistic approach, our young learners shall understand the significance of every festival we celebrate. There shall be a lot of fun and good cheer as our tiny tots will pray for the well-being of all.
