The students of Divine Happy School came together to commemorate the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri, two towering figures of Indian history. This special assembly, rich in cultural performances and thought-provoking speeches, paid tribute to these national leaders whose principles of peace, self-discipline, and service continue to inspire the nation.
A Tribute to Two National Icons
Mahatma Gandhi, affectionately called the ‘Father of the Nation,’ was pivotal in India’s freedom struggle. Through his philosophy of non-violence (Ahimsa) and civil disobedience against colonial rule, Gandhi Ji inspired millions in a peaceful manner. His ideals of truth, self-reliance, and equality still resonate deeply in the hearts of people today. Born on October 2, 1869, his life continues to be a beacon of hope for those seeking justice and freedom worldwide.
Lal Bahadur Shastri, born on October 2, 1904, served as India’s second Prime Minister and was known for his simplicity, integrity, and decisive leadership. His famous slogan “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan” during the 1965 Indo-Pak war underlined the critical role of both the soldiers and the farmers in securing and sustaining the nation. Shastri Ji’s leadership demonstrated strength through humility, inspiring millions to contribute to the welfare of the country.
