India was in split into different parts ruled by different kings for centuries. It was the Islamic invasion 700 years ago and was ruled by the Muslim kings for more than four centuries. Then it was the European invasion from all sides. The Portuguese, the French, and finally, the British were our rulers for more than two centuries.
Then it was our patriotic warriors Chinnaswami Subramanya Bharathiyar, Veera Mangai Velunachiyar, Vanchinathan, Veerapandiya Kattabomman, V.O. Chidambaram Pillai, Dheeran Chinnamalai, Maruthu Pandiyar, Puli Thevar and finally non-violence Mahatma and great leaders who freed us from all and gave our India to us. A lot of leaders like Sardar Vallabhai Patel, Kamarajar, Rajaji and others joined the various rulers of many parts into one nation, India. A constitution was formed for a social, secular, democratic, and republic India. We progressed from nothing to becoming superpower within these 72 years, even though we were the second-largest populated country in the world.
There was every chance for us to have become countries like Somalia and others without proper governance. But it was our great leaders who with many five year plans, IITs, IIMs, medical colleges, engineering colleges, research institutes, space stations and many more have made us where we are now. Today we should never forget our leaders and their broad vision to make India great.
