Days of independence and freedom
On July 4, 1776, America became free from British rule and the Declaration of Independence was written to overcome violation of human rights, oppression of people in America and the oppression of American immigrants. We must mark July 4 as a beginning of days of freedom, independence and peace. From today onwards let us hope and pray for freedom,
On October 11, 1492 Columbus had reached the Caribbean Islands and the West Indies. Revisionist Historians created the interesting documentary film "The Age of Discovery", and explained that Columbus came to the West Indies for trade and enslaved the native American Indians. The Native American Indians were the first inhabitants of the Americas. No one truly has to discover a nation; America, like all other lands was created by nature and by the power of God. On July 4, we celebrate the struggle, the fight and the victory of human rights and freedom not just for America but for all the people and for all creations and creatures of the earth.
Today, we will sing for freedom with the poetry of Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson. We will sing the song of Red Thunder and the Native American song, "Oh Great Spirit, set us free." Today, we will present the struggle and victory of freedom throughout the ages and the history of the world. History is in the past and yet history repeats itself or influences the present. If we must repeat history, let us only repeat the chant, the prayer and victory of freedom. Today we will remember Mahatma Gandhi and his faith in freedom and religious pluralism, Mother Theresa and her faith in human dignity, Kazi Nazrul for his fight for freedom in British India, Sheikh Mujib for his faith in the Bengali language that was a powerful medium of freedom, Wilberforce who believed in the abolition of slavery, Susan B. Anthony who was in jail because she wanted women to vote, Henry David Thoreau for his essay on freedom, King Birendra, the people's King in Nepal, American journalists who believed in the freedom of India, Bangladesh and many other nations; Queen Elizabeth who was in jail and later separated the parliament from religion.
We must overcome war. We must overcome empire and the examples of tyranny set by Hitler and Mussolini. We must continue to construct and deconstruct the concepts of freedom, independence and peace. We must try to understand and educate ourselves about the concepts of freedom, independence and peace.
We must celebrate everything that is good in America and the world.
