I was 7 years old in the 1990s,There is only one school in our village The school was mud walls and thatched rice, not much bigger than the wall between the two pairs of rooms. There were no tables, chairs or cupboards in the school, We used to carry bag aur mat from home to sit in school. A week before Independence Day, The teacher asked the students to do handwork.
At that time, nothing was bought from outside to decorate, only the big flag was bought. All the students made various paper designs that were needed to decorate the small flags. I was young enough not to understand much, but it was fun making all these things with the adults. The entire school was decorated a day before Independence Day. Even though I didn't understand much, I only understood that the day was a day of great joy and celebration.
The day before Sadhinata did not sleep at night, when will the morning come? What to do that day we discussed everything the day before. The next day we would get up early in the morning and go out to the neighborhood to pick flowers. Then take a bath in the morning, put on new clothes and get ready at eleven, I used to go to school with the flowers.
It is a fun time to clean up the place where the flag will be hoisted and decorate it with flowers. We didn't eat anything from morning, we didn't eat till water, we ate after hoisting the flag and paying tribute. At that time I did not understand whether the British rule or the country was independent, but this is only one thing, that our country became independent that day. This one word used to explain a lot to people. Then on that 15th day of August, everyone would stand together and raise the flag and sing only one song.
Jana Gana Mana Adhinaoka Jaya Hai'
Bharat Bhagya Vidhata'
Punjab Sindh Gujaratha Maratha
Drabiro Utkalo Banga'
Bindhu Hiamachal Imuna Ganga
Uchchal Jaladhita Rangga
Tab Shubh Name Jage.... Tab Shubh Ashish Mage
Gaye Tab Jaya Gatha
Jana Gana Mana Adhinaoka Jaya Hai Bharat Bhangya Vidhata...
Jaya Hai... Jaya Hai ....
Jaya Hai ....
Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hai. ..... ....
Vande Matram!
After hoisting the flag, everyone would pay tribute by wrapping flowers one by one. Then each of us would stand in a line with a flag in each hand and chant Bandemataram slogans. And the master used to guide us. The whole village was circumambulated. On this day, children were fed sweet bread in our school, Everyone would line up and take that sweet bread, eat it and then drink water. It was quite fun. This is how our childhood Independence Day was celebrated. There is no history here, only the feelings of a small village child about independence day. Independence Day will complete 76 years this year.
