About

In this letter, I ask the following question. Is 15 August a day that deserves to be celebrated by Hindus in India as Independence day? To be able to answer that question, we need answer to another question. What did we gain independence from on August 15, 1947? The immediate response that comes to mind is, from the colonial rule of the British. We secured an ability to make laws for ourselves and an end to being treated as second class people in our own country. So, the question really is, have Hindus in India experienced any of these in the last 74 years? By the end of this letter, I will answer that. ====== Created with Audacity ====== Music: Music by jorikbasov from Pixabay ====== Website: https://lettersfrombasement.in/ ===== Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/frombasement ===== Twitter: https://twitter.com/mnchalat ===== YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC18lWijs2Scgsk8CGkvRx7g ====== Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lettersfromthebasement/ ======
