✨Today marks India's 75th #RepublicDay ✨ 75 years since we adopted a Constitution to govern India. A preamble, fundamental rights, directive principles & fundamental duties.. all to live by, as part of citizens of our country. But what about a preamble, fundamental rights, directive principles & fundamental duties to govern our own selves; 💡mind,🧠 body & 💭intellect? We often say that our bodies are our first homes. But do we give it the attention & mind-space it really needs? In an era marked by constant change, from technological advancements to environmental challenges and societal conflicts, the analogy of constitution governance finds profound resonance in the realm of human wellbeing. Just as a constitution outlines the fundamental principles guiding a nation, our body's inherent constitution governs its functioning, vitality, and balance. Amidst the tumult of modern life, it becomes imperative to heed the wisdom of our bodies. Understanding and listening to its signals serves as the compass we need to navigate the complexities of human interactions & existence. Aligning with our body's needs through practices like intuition, meditation, and reflection fosters a deeper connection and harmony within. (I am deeply grateful to Dr. Sanjyot Pethe, Deepa Bhalerao & aishwarya chavan (she/her) for helping me finally realise this.) In a world that often glorifies relentless productivity over holistic wellbeing, we must learn to respect our individual boundaries, while balancing the pursuit of growth and learning with self-preservation. By honoring the governance of our body's constitution, we pave the way for a life of vitality, balance, and fulfillment. This is the only sure-shot way to sustainability ensure resilience in the face of life's challenges. So, this Republic Day, as we take pride in our #Bharat, let us also pledge to govern our own bodies responsibly and mindfully. Together, let's embark on a journey of self-awareness and self-care, ensuring that our actions and choices prioritize our wellbeing and nourish our souls. #wellbeing #governance #mindfulness #learn #adapt #grow #sustain

The 78th Indian Independence Day, celebrated on August 15, 2024, is a time for reflecting on the nation's progress and honouring its rich history. Independence Day, celebrated with great enthusiasm and patriotism, symbolizes the hard-won freedom and sovereignty of a nation. As we commemorate the sacrifices made by countless individuals for our independence, it's also an opportune moment to reflect on the concept of freedom in our personal lives—particularly in the context of health. This Independence Day can be a moment to not only honour the nation’s journey but also to commit to healthier living, ensuring that the spirit of freedom is complemented by the vitality and health of its people. The idea of good health aligns with the vision of a strong and vibrant nation. Healthy citizens contribute to a resilient and prosperous India. A nation's strength lies in the health of its people. A healthy population is more productive, innovative, and capable of defending and advancing the nation's interests Just as the fight for independence required collective effort, so does the fight against diseases and health inequities. Independence is not just physical; it's also mental and emotional. Mental health is an often-overlooked aspect of overall well-being, yet it is crucial for true freedom. Without mental well-being, we cannot fully enjoy the liberties we have. Prioritizing mental health through stress management, social support, and seeking help when needed is essential for maintaining the freedom to live life to the fullest. In the modern world, maintaining good health requires a conscious effort—much like the struggle for independence. This includes making informed choices about diet, exercise, breathing, meditation and lifestyle, as well as seeking regular medical care. Just as independence was not achieved overnight, good health is a result of consistent effort and dedication. As we celebrate Independence Day, let us remember that health is a vital component of the freedom we cherish. By taking care of our health and supporting public health initiatives, we contribute not only to our well-being but also to the strength and resilience of our nation. This Independence Day, let's pledge to uphold our health as a sacred responsibility, ensuring that we can fully enjoy the liberties we are fortunate to have. #India #Bharath #Independence #Freedom #Health #Healing #wellbeing #Responsibility #Pledge

Indian Independence Day, celebrated every year on August 15th, is a day of pride and reflection for the nation. It marks the end of colonial rule and the birth of India as a free and sovereign state in 1947. The day is celebrated with patriotic fervor, with the tricolor flying high and the echoes of the national anthem filling the air. However, while the nation celebrates its hard-earned freedom, there is a silent, poignant story of struggle that persists—the plight of doctors🙏 Even as India strides forward, the medical community often bears the brunt of systemic inefficiencies, overwhelming patient loads, and inadequate resources. The COVID-19 pandemic, in particular, highlighted these challenges. Doctors, the frontline warriors, have faced extreme pressure, working in hazardous conditions with insufficient support, often putting their lives at risk..🛑 Another grave risk for society is Quackery in our country, no one is bothered about it ...Quackery in medicine is just like Airhostess flying the plane, u can imagine how dark medicine just like dark web is destroying our society's fitness n health...🚧 As we celebrate our freedom, it is crucial to respect freedom of others... Probably Medical Science is becoming more of Political Science...🌏🌐 #mapleclinic #freedomfromquackery #IADVL #IMA

🌟 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: 𝗔 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 🌟 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗼𝗻 𝟭𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟶𝟮𝟰, we celebrate the spirit of independence that flows through the veins of our beloved India. A day of pride, patriotism, and profound respect for those who fought for our freedom. But as we raise our flags and sing our anthems, it's time to ask ourselves: Are we truly independent? 𝗣𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 – Do we own our bodies, or are we slaves to unhealthy habits, stress, and inactivity? True physical independence means mastering our health, embracing fitness, and nurturing our well-being. 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 – Are we free in our thoughts, or are we bound by limiting beliefs, fears, and societal expectations? Mental independence is about breaking the chains of doubt and daring to dream beyond the ordinary. 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 – Do we connect with our inner selves, or are we lost in the noise of the external world? Spiritual independence is the path to self-realization, where we transcend the material and align with our higher purpose. 𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 – Are we in control of our emotions, or do they control us? Emotional independence means mastering our feelings, embracing resilience, and nurturing inner peace amidst life's storms. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 – Do we own our wealth, or does it own us? Financial independence is not just about earning money but about achieving security, freedom of choice, and the ability to live life on our terms. 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 – Are we truly free in our social interactions, or are we trapped in the expectations and judgments of others? Social independence means forming authentic connections, embracing diversity, and standing tall in our truth. As we celebrate this Independence Day, let’s pledge to seek true independence in every facet of our lives. Let’s work towards a future where every Indian is not just free in body, but free in mind, heart, and spirit. Because real independence begins within. 🇮🇳 #IndependenceDay #IndiaAt77 #TrueFreedom #SelfMastery #VisionLifeApp #DrVishalGandhi

Our Journey of Healing and Creativity !! When we first stepped into Freedom Project India, we were carrying the heavy baggage of our difficult pasts. The weight of our experiences seemed insurmountable, and the future felt uncertain. But as we began our journey with Freedom Project, a new chapter slowly unfolded—one filled with hope, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose. The dedicated team at Freedom Project India welcomed us with open arms, offering not just a place of refuge but also a space for growth and transformation. Over several months, we were gently guided through the art of baking and soap making—skills that, at first, seemed beyond our reach. With patience and persistence, we learned to knead dough, measure ingredients, and craft soaps, each process a metaphor for our own healing journey. As our hands worked the dough and mixed the soap, something incredible began to happen. The same hands that once only knew hardship and pain started to create beautiful and creative products. The joy of seeing our first batch of bread rise or our first soap bar set was indescribable. Each loaf of bread and each bar of soap became a testament to our resilience, creativity, and the strength we never knew we had. Today, we look back with gratitude at how far we've come. What seemed impossible before is now a reality—we are not just survivors; we are artisans, creators, and most importantly, individuals on a path of restoration. The Freedom Project India didn't just teach us new skills; it helped us reclaim our lives and find beauty in our journey. Our story is one of transformation, and we are proud to share it with you. We hope it inspires others to believe in the power of healing, creativity, and the incredible possibilities that lie within each of us. #transforminglives #tfpi #womenempowerment

#IndependenceDay #India. I woke up this morning in a mood more sombre than celebratory.   I went over how much I take for granted, and for which I am grateful –, to acquire and fulfill wants, the roof over my head, to eat the food I like, to wear the clothes I feel good in, to profess my faith, to express, to question, to move around, to pursue opportunity to access healthcare, to mingle freely…   How has all this been possible? Who are denied the very same elements I take for granted? How secure are our freedoms? What guarantees? Such ruminations led me on to think thus:   We are not free until we are free of poverty We are not free until we are all able to access healthcare We are not free until we step out of our delusions and ignorance We are not free until we challenge our beliefs and assumptions We are not free until we open ourselves to all voices, and the voiceless We are not free until we guarantee dignity in all encounters We are not free until we stop condoning violence We are not free until we stop waging war for peace We are not free until we stop being slaves to conspicuous consumption We are not free until we stop imposing our will and way of life on another We are not free until we look our fears in the mirror and not be paralyzed We are not free until we stop aping the West We are not free until we embrace our history and know its varied versions   The story of collective struggles for freedom is a chequered one. The tensions between our urge for freedom and the reality of interdependence is an ongoing saga.   Splitting volition (and freedom of choice/action) and responsibility creates the illusion of freedom for one, and the experience of oppression for the other.   Our freedoms are assured and lasting only when we raise our voices against oppression, inequities, injustice, and violence everywhere.   Our freedoms are sustained only when we stop the assault on nature, and remembering that the conquest and violence against Nature is an attack on ourselves, for we are a part of and not apart from it.

Hello 👋🏽 from India 🇮🇳 Restorative Reflections: As I travel through India, my experiences underscore a profound truth: in our pursuit of success, whether it's wealth, education, or status, understanding is crucial, particularly in addressing complex societal issues like racism. Here, like in many parts of the world, color is not just seen but deeply felt. The treatment that follows, often compounded by the legacies of colonialism, speaks volumes about the pervasive impact of racial perceptions. This reality challenges the notion of colorblindness or a more appropriate term, color evasiveness, such as the common phrase "I don't see color." While this may be intended as a statement of inclusivity, it overlooks the experiences of those directly impacted by racial dynamics, inadvertently contributing to the problem. In my work focused on healing humanity, I've witnessed how misunderstandings and oversights can deepen societal divides. Whether it's protective measures adopted by marginalized communities or the everyday interactions shaped by color perception, these experiences are powerful reminders of the need for a holistic approach in all our endeavors. Understanding is more than an asset; it's a necessity. As we gather wealth or knowledge, let's equally strive to deepen our understanding of the world and its diverse inhabitants. It's this enriched understanding that paves the way for genuine societal healing and creates a foundation for a truly inclusive world. Let's commit to not just achieving personal success but also to fostering a deeper empathy and comprehension of the societal issues that shape our lives and those around us. #UnderstandingMatters #HealingHumanity #InclusiveLeadership #SocietalChange #GlobalPerspectives

INDIA i.e., BHARAT@ 78 Its an irony that living in a country, addressed itself as SHE/HER is not safe for its own women/daughters/sisters even after crossing Diamond Jubilee of Independence and heading towards Centennial. Every day n number of violence's against she/her reported. A few got nation's attention/ media coverage while others gets diminished in the shadow of Shining India. But one thing is common both have to face the life long sufferings. An ointment is yet to be discovered that can heal their evergreen wounds. We will again forget this disgusting act soon as we had done with Manipur Naked Parade, Hathras Gang rape and Murder, Eve-teasing and Murder of minor in Ambedkar Nagar, Ballia Rape Case and uncountable incidents that will never come to limelight as they will never get registered/ highlighted anywhere. We can't Sense Anyone's Pain Until it had Happened With us Too...!!! जान बचानेवाले कीं ही जान सुरक्षित नहीं, इस देश में ! Which justice we are talking about ?? Drunkard asshole will be hanged sooner or later. But the Doctor/An invaluable resource we had lost unfortunately, how that gap will fill ? She would have cure thousands of patients in her upcoming career. Her contribution in our medical department could have made a drastic positive impact in society. Already we are facing acute shortage of Basic Medical Infrastructure. Data shows availability of only 7 Doctor for every 1000 people (ever after 77 years of Independence). All her years of studies, practice, sacrifices to be a good doctor just went vain. how she will get justice and what justice we are talking about .....??? A few Protests for Her, Politicians Crocodile Tears, Flood of Condolences & Compensations, News Headlines, Blame Game and then all back on the track as said "The Show Must Go On" Just Playing Patriotic Songs & Movies in Loudspeaker, Flag hosting, Wishing & Sweets Sharing, Dreaming About India @2047 would not work.

The tragedy in our society lies in the prevailing self-centeredness in India, where individuals engage in a relentless pursuit to showcase themselves as more intelligent, intellectual, and affluent. Those who have achieved success often fail to recognize that their standing is indebted to the support of many, including family, friends, and relatives. The initial ten years of our lives are spent entirely on the receiving end, utilizing societal resources and benefiting from contributions of numerous people, some of whom we may not even remember. However, as we become stronger or accumulate more than we need, there is often a reluctance to share these resources, be they tangible or intangible, and seldom do we reciprocate the support we received as we grew up, until circumstances force us to do so, typically through death, as one cannot carry accumulated wealth beyond. In India, a significant portion of the population performs at a mediocre level, reflecting in the quality of their lives. The failure to address fundamental issues in the early education of children results in them merely "learning to read" without progressing to the critical stage of "reading to learn." Consequently, these individuals struggle to surpass the threshold of 35 years of age, as they lack the capability to lead independent lives due to a poor understanding of acquiring new skills, leading to a failure in finding happiness in their lives. Disturbingly, India has gained the unfortunate distinction of being the number one country for suicide attempts among individuals aged 18 to 35. I implore all those who have amassed the necessary resources and no longer face the struggle for their livelihoods to step out of their comfort zones. It is crucial to reflect on our fellow society members and commence contributing without harboring any expectations. Imagine a beggar approaching you with a message – develop a habit of giving, or you may find yourself in their situation.

TW: SA To everyone seeing this from India, I don’t wish you a happy Independence Day. I wish you a reflective one. At the risk of sounding sanctimonious, I hope you take the time to reflect on what it is that we celebrate on the 15th of August every year, and whether recent events particularly leave something worth celebrating. We celebrate the 15th of August every year because this date is symbolic of autonomy. But ask yourselves, do we ALL really have autonomy? Half the population in India lives every single day in survival mode. Pepper sprays, location sharing, panic buttons, “self-defence” techniques take up a concerningly huge part of our brain space. Thinking about what we’re wearing, what time of day we’re out and why, who we’re out with also becomes important, in the event that we are victimised. Because all those factors determine whether we’ll be made into a ‘survivor’ or a cautionary tale. And we’ve all been socialised into forgetting that this is NOT okay. How can anything ever be equal (in schools, universities, workplaces, or anywhere else) when half the population has to worry about their lives being in danger every single day? How can we think we’re free, that we have autonomy, when HALF our population is being brutalised, predominantly by the other half? A country can never be separate from its people, that defeats the whole purpose in my opinion. If half your population lives like this every day, you are not free. Until we’ve fixed this, we don’t have a cause for celebration.
