Native Americans were called Indians as Columbas thought that's where he was, India...

Only a few hundred years late, but go him...

'Har Ghar Tiranga' said our honorable prime minister. It means flags on every house. Well, all I see are flags on every bike, auto and ad banners. But, that's India. We can modify any rule. We even made Indianized versions of noodles.. what's a simple rule?

We are so dependent on Russia's oil that we made a deal with them while supporting Ukraine on the surface. Let's once again try for independence for the 75th time :p

You changed your displayed honor bar to India.

Happy 75th Independence Day to all fellow Indians :)
MERA BHARAT MAHAAN !!!

Happy Independence day to fellow Indians. 75 yrs done , many more to come. Hope that when we complete 100yrs we will have used the time to make ourselves and the country better. Cheers

It was a request , not a rule. People have been displaying flags during various occasions in their vehicles and stuff since many years. May be you were born yesterday.

Making deal with Russians for oil when the prices are soaring everywhere so as to reduce the burden on common Indians , but also supporting Ukraine against violence is exactly what an Independent country should be doing if it serves the common people. Govt of India was elected to serve Indians not Ukrainian or someone else. We can do what's best for us and also try to help others by what we can do realistically. We don't have to be crusaders.

Hope you understand concept of independence better when you write in forums next time.
SungJinWoo [2569455]
Maybe you dont know the rule. Maybe you are not aware of new rules. Vehicles are not supposed to carry the flag. Even collectors' vehicles are not allowed to do so. It is considered disrespect to the flag.

It is indeed advantageous to the people. But you mean to say that just because of profits, we forgo our morals? While supporting someone on the surface, we make deals with their enemy behind their back? That's what immoral people do. India has been known to be just and moral and having values. Are these the values? Sure it helps the people, but at what cost? Loss of honor? I don't say we have to be crusaders. I just meant that supporting ukraine on the surface is not right. Just make deals with russia and help ourselves. Why quote humanitarian reasons on the surface?

Maybe you are not clear about what Independence is. Due to the hardcore corruption, anything you want to do is dependent on whether the higher-ups agree. For them to agree, for your applications or forms to move faster, in fact, for anything related to the government, you have to pay extra or have connections. What's the difference from before 1947 and now? The celebrations we have now are all mostly gimmicks for elections, nothing concrete.

Grow up and look around you. Then you will see what's happening. I am not saying I have a way out of it. We are humans. Humans have ego and the desire for more. I don't think India is that bad compared to other countries. Our economic policies are pretty good. However, my point is that Independence day is not something worth celebrating. That's all
JrPacman [1537436]
I don't think i can argue with someone who thinks geopolitics runs on morals , values and honor. If you don't want to celebrate , so be it. Bcs please spare us from your sermons. I don't want to pay X5 bills for my food and fuel bcs two countries couldn't come to an agreement and had to fight. I ll send my bill to you next time we decide to buy costly stuff to stand up for morals, send me your address , you can pay for it.

Independence of a nation is not related to corruption you dunderhead. With that yardstick , none of the countries in the world is independent. Uh.. this is my last reply to you , don't have time or energy to argue against shit logic. Hope you have a good day.

I never said we should pay more for oil. I said we should openly deal with russia instead and not support ukraine. Also, India is still known as a country with values.

Regarding what independence is, it's a vague concept. It's just a difference of opinion. Everyone has their own yardsticks. I am not saying you are wrong or I am right. It's just where we draw the line. But, you needn't go so personal on that. Have it your way! Since it's a forum, I just put forth my opinion.

While watching cricket we 'advice' cricketers on where and how to hit through our TVs. It's not that we know better. It is just a vent for our opinions. We don't fight over it. We don't get angry over it. We can't change anything anyway. Same with geopolitics. We can only discuss it, not change anything. So, just calm down.

Youngsters these days... so aggressive. *sighs*
