What are the areas where you think we as individuals can strive hard to make the place that we live in better?

What is the inspiring slogan that you follow that is related to freedom and independence of thoughts?

“Freedom of mind is real freedom. A person whose mind is not free though he may not be in chains is a slave, not a free man. One whose mind is not free, though he may not be in prison, is a prisoner and not a free man. One whose mind is not free though alive is no better than dead. Freedom of mind is the proof of one’s existence.” – BR Ambedkar

Wishing all our readers a Very Happy 75th Year of Indian Independence!!
