5 Essentials Shoes Every Woman Should Own – You heard it, right ladies. Footwear!!!!! If you ask me what do you love the most about your body, I would say my feet. Mostly because feet don’t gain weight😁. I believe this would be the case with most people. Any look or outfit is never complete without the right footwear. These also have the ability to ramp up or down your looks based on your choices.
But possessing N number of footwears may not be possible both economically and logistically (like me). Hunting for the right footwear for every occasion/ outfit can be painstaking for both your pocket and legs. Instead, if you have this 5 must-have footwear, you can offset those pains. Any last-minute occasions, any outfit, these 5 types of footwear got you covered.
5 Essentials Shoes Every Woman Should Own

White sneakers have such popularity that even brides nowadays choose to walk down the aisle comfortably in white sneakers.

There is no beauty without pain and heels are the perfect examples of this. It is quite painful and difficult to walk in stilettoes, but sometimes perfect pair of heels does the work. If you are interested in an elegant top-notch look, then high heels are your best buddies. High Heels may not only hurt your feet but also your pocket. Hence, it would be wise to choose plain or nude shades of heels like a Black, Vanilla, Beige shades, or simply the golden bling ones.
5 Essentials Shoes Every Woman Should Own
There are hundreds of high heel options available in the market to choose from. If you are a comfort person but love being a chic occasionally or for, say a long event, I suggest you choose the height of your heels accordingly. Always go for heels you are damn confident about.
These are ballerina-inspired flat shoes. Yep, flat as a pancake. For ladies who prefer a (less painful😋) chic look, ballet flats will make your day. These shoes come in handy especially when you have to walk a lot. Remember those long strides of the window shopping in the malls. Yes, that’s when ballerina shoes are your “toe-savers”.

4. Flip Flops
Flip flops are more than just footwear. They make a personality statement about the person wearing it as well. How many of you love going out in flip flops no matter what the occasion is or where you are going? 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️ The best part of the flip flop slippers is you can wear it in any weather conditions. A good pair of flip flop slippers can last for years! No matter how many footwears you have, how cheap/costly ones you have, you always need a pair of flip flops on a beach or a rainy day.
Last but not the least, a good pair of formal shoes. Yeh, ’cause we need to flaunt our office wears in style and elegance 😎. Loafers or black pumps would be the best choice of formal footwear. One good thing about loafers or black pumps is they can be worn to the office as well as on other occasions.

We live in a smart world that has PCs replaced by Laptops, buttons replaced by touchscreens, and smartwatches replaced by analogue watches within very few years. But it took almost a decade for the earphones to become smart🤓.
We have many companies like Apple, Google, Samsung, and Sony that are already doing good in the TWS (True Wireless Stereo Earphones) trend, and OnePlus is the latest one to join this pack. They launched their first TWS Buds on 21st July 2020. I’ve been using these OnePlus buds since then which I think is more than enough to write an honest review. Withoutfurther ado, let’s get into it.
What’s in the box
The box contains the OnePlus Buds, a Type C to Type A USB-C cable, a Safety information card, and a warranty card.
OnePlus Buds Review - A Perfect Choice for your Ear and Wallet
Specifications
Dimensions: Earbud: (18.8 x 16.1 x 37.9 mm); Case: (52.2 x 59.6 x 37.9 mm)
Microphones: Environmental noise cancellation for voice calls; IPX4 splash/sweat resistant
Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0
Frequency response range: 20Hz – 20 KHz
Battery and charging capacity: 35 mAh per Bud; 430 mAh for charging case; 10W USB-C fast charging (10-minute charge of the case = 10 hours of playback; 10 mins in the case = 100 minutes of music on Buds)
Battery life: 7 hours (music); 4.3 hours (phone call); up to 30 hours with charging case.
Colour: White, Grey, and Nord Blue.
Design
To be frank, the design isn’t quite groundbreaking. On the funnier side, I believe they wanted to bring out something rival to the Apple AirPods and the Google Pixel Buds. The exterior case shares the design with the Google Pixel Buds, and the earbuds look and feel almost identical to the Apple AirPods. If you see these buds on someone’s ears at a distance, you would certainly mistake them for Airpods. So, if you want the earbuds to look like Airpods, you should go for the white one like me🤪.

However, Oneplus has nailed the implementation part. No sharp edges, proper weight distribution, and the matte finish in the case along with some cool features made the OnePlus buds stand out. The pin-hole LED light in front indicates the battery level of the case. The bottom of the case has a USB-C port to charge the case and the back of the case has a sync button (reset button) which also can be used to check the battery level.
Talking about the performance, their warp charging capability is a show-stopper. Oneplus claims that a 10-minute charge of the case will give 10 hours of playback and 10 mins in the case will give 100 minutes of music on Buds. Fortunately, it’s true. If you are a music lover or a person who uses earphones 24/7, then I strongly recommend going for it.

Even though the Oneplus Buds lacks the noise cancellation feature, they do have the on-call environmental noise reduction which helps the listener to hear you clearly during calls. Despite being mid-range earbuds, the sound clarity and bass-boost capacity seem to be pretty good to compete with the high-end versions.
Convenience and Usability
The Google Fast Pair feature supported by these earbuds makes the first time pairing simple. As you can see in the below pictures, you can view the charge status of both the buds and the case once connected which according to me is quite useful.
Say goodbye to the media control buttons and say hi to the touch-sensitive gestures😎. The touch-sensitive area in the buds will help you to attend/reject the calls in a single tap. The double-tap on the left bud to skip back and double-tap on the right bud to skip next while hearing music. The buds also have the touch-sensitive play/pause feature – taking one of the buds off the ears will pause and plugging it back will resume the music.
For the people who are doubtful whether the buds would fall off during some activities, I’ve personally tried out some tests. The earbuds stayed perfectly even when I tried shaking my head, jumping, jogging, etc..

One downside of the bud is not having a silicone tip. It took me two days, a lot of ear pain, and scoldings🥺 from my mom to get used to the buds.

Netflix’s Money Heist Review – Is it really about Heist? Some days back, my friend and I had a debate on Netflix’s Money Heist / Lacasa de Papel. I asked him “What did you like about the series?” I expected that he would mention some technical aspects like story, direction, screenplay, etc. But he said that he liked “the way people in the series are portrayed and their ideology”. Here begins my problem with Money Heist. There are so many robbery-based movies in all languages but money heist is one of the series though based on a robbery but its goal is not to rob something but to propagate something.
Netflix’s Money Heist Review
First of all, The story of the money heist is very gripping and engaging. Yes, there are many illogical and nonsensical scenes but overall its screenplay was edited to create interest for the next episode.
BUT, WHAT WENT WRONG WITH ME?
1. It’s all about Resistance
The whole plan of robbery was an act of vengeance by the professor for the death of his father during a theft. The professor felt like teaching a lesson to the system. How ironic it is. If robberies are the symbol of resistance, then every crime in this world can be attributed to resistance to injustice or protest against the system. If this philosophy of Money heist is acceptable, then the philosophy of ‘V for Vendetta’ also should be acceptable. But do we advocate V for Vendetta? Definitely not.
2. Sympathy Drama
The creators were very careful while designing the characters of the series. They were designed to create a sense of sympathy towards them with the support of all their melodramatic flashbacks. At the same time the Government, police, and army were shown as villains. The professor himself says that he spent his whole life planning the Heist. If he had spent this time on other things, he would have changed the system in a different way.
3. Dysfunctional Spanish State
Spain has one of the best internal security agencies in the world. But, in the series, it is portrayed as a weak, timid, and cruel agency. Some examples like Tokyo re-entering the bank even though top class snipers are around her, Professor and team escaping to Portugal without even caring for Navy or coast guards, etc. Creators are clearly intended in showing us that the Spanish state is not performing up to the mark in protecting its people.
4. Against Capitalism
The characters like Arturo and Gandia are consciously portrayed in the most irritating and disgusting manner. They were shown as filthy capitalists and opportunists. Whereas Professor, Tokyo, Nairobi are portrayed as liberal social trendsetters. Nairobi asks a baby with a professor where nobody finds it a problem but when Arturo is getting a baby from Monica, it suddenly becomes a problem.
5. Fake emotions
The one thing which took me by surprise is people coming in large numbers and supporting a heist. What kind of society does this? When money gets dropped from the air, the director shows people as desperately going after money and collecting it and in return extending their support to heists and cheering for robbers. What kind of nonsense is this? This sequence questions the fundamental value structure of the Spanish people.
6. Not taking anyone’s money, oh is it?
I think creators failed the Economics exam in school. Printing new money or taking away reserve gold will definitely have an effect(like inflation etc) on each and every individual of the country. So if a professor is giving justification to his heist by saying that he is not taking anyone’s money, don’t believe it.
7. Propagating Communism
Personally I don’t have any problem with communism. But in my observation, this series promotes communism in a lighter way. Some of the instances are:
Selection of Bella ciao Russian red army version
Portraying Moscow’s Birthday on labor day
Dialogues by the professor that he intends to distribute money earned from mint to the working class instead of putting in capitalist pockets.
Consciously using red in jumpsuits, door colors, Credits, etc..
Showing false emotions of the crowd in support of robbers.
8. Human rights violation…. Seriously?
Why is the second robbery necessary? Because Rio was tortured? But why was Rio tortured? Is it for robbing mint? If yes, is he not a criminal? If he is a criminal, then arresting him and interrogating him triggers another robbery? If yes, then all the moral ground they established in the first robbery (if any) If Rio’s life and rights are so important to the professor, then what about the lives and Rights of hostages he held during two heists.
You may think that it is just a series and I am overthinking about it. but going by the own confession of creators in a TV interview, Money heist was successful in bringing unity of masses in various protests in Spain. The Dali masks became a symbol of resistance in Spain (in some protests) and creators are proudly saying that some robberies happened by wearing Jumpsuits and Dali masks as in Money Heist. Is this the resistance the creators are looking to bring out? If yes, then money heist is nothing less than toxic.

You might be surprised to know shoes are the only thing that is noticed unconsciously about a person. It is an attribute to your outfit hence you should choose that wisely. There are various types of shoes each designed for each occasion and needs to be worn at that time only.
This picture is a clear example of why you should not wear sports shoes for a formal outfit. It doesn’t simply match. Here are the 5 shoes that every man must have.
5 Essential Shoes Every Man Should Own
Lace up Formals
Formal shoes are essential to every man. Be it a formal meeting or a part event a formal oxford or a brogue never goes out of style. It complements the suit you are wearing and elevates your presence. A genuine leather shoe lasts for a lifetime so it is always advisable to invest in a high-quality pair of shoes. However, if you buy your first formal shoe back is always preferable as it matches up with most of the colors.
Casual sneakers are the best for any informal occasion. and can be worn with jeans as well as chinos, the classic white sneakers is an eye-catcher and there is a wide range of brands to choose from based on your budget.

Dress loafers have a wider area of application as it can be worn with a suit or with chinos or even with a pair of jeans. They are the best ally for business casuals for a Friday attire. Coming to loafers you have a long list of options to choose on the color and material used.

The Boots are mostly an unpopular opinion as most of them cant be worn on a daily basis. However, the Chelsea Boots and Chukka boots add a sense of ruggedness to your outfit. And you can rock them with a pair of leather jackets which would be a stunning combo.
The Monk Strap and the Double monk strap shoes are on of my personal favorites, but it depends on individual’s taste. Instead of the regular plain formals, the Monk strapshoes is much more aggressive and it differentiates you from the crowd. They can be used for formal as well as casual meetings.
As for the majority of people out there, shoes aren’t much of a game-changer. But the fact is, it completes the overall perception of yourself. There are loads of variety when it comes to footwear, but the mentioned shoes are a must in every man’s wardrobe. And when it comes to cost, there too you have a large band to choose from. But it is always preferred to go with premium, high-quality shoes which lasts longer and has a better value for the money.
What do you think about the above list? We would love to hear from you. Let us know in the comments section.
Mac and Cheese Recipe – One of the easiest and quickest food to prepare is Macaroni and Cheese. Hence we can call it easy mac and cheese recipe. With macaroni, there is no right or wrong, no successful or failed attempts. If cooking is an art, then you could be an artist with Macaroni and Cheeserecipe. The Macaroni and Cheese tastes nothing but cheesy and has two important ingredients – macaroni and cheese (obviously😋). But this recipe is way more colourful and flavourful because we are Indians😎. (Note: Nothing wrong with the original mac & cheese recipe, as this is just an addition of Indian twist). Also, check out our other recipes as well – HERE.
Add macaroni into the boiling water with a pinch of salt, 1tsp oil for 5 minutes.
Drain water from the macaroni and keep aside. Save some pasta water for later as well.
Chop onions, garlic, and tomatoes as per your convenience. Ultimately, all this will be mashed into a semi-paste.
Heat the pan and melt 2tbsp butter.
Add mustard seeds, chopped onion, garlic, and saute until onion starts becoming golden color (approx. 3 minutes in medium flame).
Now add the chopped/diced tomatoes, 1tsp turmeric powder, 1tsp chili powder, and 1tsp garam masala. Mix well and cook for another 3mins under medium flame.
Mash the veggies using the spatula into a semi-paste form.
Add the boiled macaroni, the pasta water, and cooked macaroni into the veggies.
Now add 3 tbsp slurry, 50ml milk, 1tsp pepper powder, and 15g cheese (or as required). Mix well all the ingredients and cook under low flame for 8mins or until cheese melts.
Once everything is cooked and perfect, garnish with some chopped coriander leaves and some love.
Make sure to mix oil with macaroni and water before boiling as oil prevents macaroni from sticking together.
After boiling, stir the cooked macaroni lightly before draining so that it doesn’t stick together later on as well.
For perfection, boil macaroni until almost cooked and not fully cooked. This will prevent macaroni becoming over cooked with the veggies.
If you prefer more cheesy but spicy, just add how much ever cheese you want and increase the proportion of pepper powder in your dish (just like artist adjust the colours😅).
Here we go – presenting you the Indian style mac and cheese😎.
The ingredients’ measure mentioned here is as per my taste buds. Feel free to alter the measure as per your choice. Hope you have enjoyed reading this. It’s time to experiment. Try this at home and key in your feedback in the comment section below.

Bubble Farm Review – In recent times, most of us are in search of natural, chemical-free, cruelty-free beauty products. Also, voices are strongly raised to support small businesses. Bubble Farm is one such brand. They make hand-made, natural, cruelty-free skin, and hair care products!
If you have missed our previous honest reviews, click here.
Bubble Farm Review – INTRODUCTION
Let me brief you about my skin and hair types for you guys to understand my reviews better. I have a combination skin type and curly, frizzy hair. I have been struggling with pimple/Acne problems since my college days. I underwent a few treatments prescribed by dermatologists and most of which did not work out. Later I understood it’s something that is related to my hormones and I also feel it might be genetic since this runs through my family.
I started to accept my skin as it is and stopped using chemical products, ointments on my skin and hair. Yes, the products you use on your hair also affects your facial skin. Products that worked for everyone else did not work for me! Clean & Clear, and other popular neem-based face washes were the best in the market for acne-prone skin but those left my skin dry and irritated.
My search for the perfect product for my skin continued and I finally found Bubble Farm via Instagram almost 2 years back. I really loved the way these products are made. They are hand-made in very small batches with the utmost care. From then till now Bubble farm products remain to be my constant pick.
All my reviews are based on my personal experience. Every product might not work the same way for every individual. Now that you guys know my skin type and struggle through all these years you might able to get a better idea about the products I’m here to review.
Every product needs its own time to show the results especially when it comes to natural products. Nothing happens overnight.
Don’t buy many products from a brand before knowing how it works on your skin. Buy a single product and use it for a few weeks to see the result before you decide anything
Now that’s a good amount of introduction above. If you have skipped the Introduction part, I recommend you read it before entering the product review section. Also, I’m reviewing only the products which I have used from Bubble Farm.
FACE AND BODY CARE PRODUCTS
Bubble Farm products. Image source : Just A library
#1 FACE WASH
I have tried The Orange blossom and Green tea & honey face wash from Bubble farm and both are my favorites. It is very gentle on my skin, doesn’t irritate the existing acne/pimples, and prevents from new breakouts. Worth to mention it also does the cleaning job very well. I have been continuously using these for more than 2 years now and they are my absolute favorites. A must-try product!!

#2 FACE TONER
I started using Rosemary Hydrosol (toner) a few weeks back and I kind of like the instant refreshment it gives and also the hydration it provides. There are various types of toners available with bubble farm, you can choose to depend upon your skin type. Few of these can also be used on the scalp. For more info check out the Bubble Farm site.
#3 FACE OILS
I have used the anti-acne and intense hydration oil from the bubble farm. I would not say anti-acne oil worked 100% for me but both the oils did not do any damage to my skin. Which according to me is a great thing? Like everyone else, I couldn’t regularly use the oils. Laziness caught me and I stopped using the oils hence unable to give a detailed opinion on it.
#4 UNDER EYE CREAM
I never had any under-eye problems but I bought this under-eye cream for no reason. I used it regularly for a few weeks and I really loved the aroma and it gave a relaxing effect which helped me in sleeping.
#5 BODY BUTTER
I tried their Sea Buckthorn body butter. I absolutely loved it !! It moisturized my skin well and did not leave any greasy effect. A must-try product!

Aloe vera gel :
I have aloe vera plant in my home and I always take the aloe vera pulp (Gel) from the plant whenever needed for my hair/skin. I recently got a sample package of the aloe vera gel from Bubble Farm and I liked it. Those who want a mess-free experience of using aloe vera gel I would recommend this product.

I have already emptied one full bottle of Herbal hair pack from Bubble Farm! This is one of my absolute favorites from Bubble Farm. Weekly once I make a hair pack with this powder, curd and apply it. I usually let it be in my hair for about 40 mins to 1 hour based on the time I have. It helped me control frizz 100% and made my hair extremely soft. It also helped me overcome split-ends and other damaged hair issues. I stopped using conditioners after starting to use the hair pack. A must try product !

Lip care products :
I was attracted by the flavors of their lip-care products and bought the below.
Blueberry lip scrub – Yum Yum Yum Yum to the Maxxxx!!!! It mixes it with coconut oil and scrubs it over my lips! The flavor and texture are just out of words! Leaves behind a good tint! A must-try product!!
Rose Cinnamon Lip serum – This is a lip balm which you can use a base coat before your lipstick, else avoid the lipstick itself! Again the flavor is wonderful and keeps the lips soft and bubbly. A must-try product!!
These products might seem costly but considering the fact that these are hand-made in small batches with completely natural ingredients, the price seems reasonable. Once you start using hand-made natural products I bet you would not like going back to your commercially popular brands.
They also come up with a lot of offers now and then, I usually stock up my needs during the sale times.
Bubble Farm Customer Care :
I would say they do an excellent job when it comes to customer satisfaction. I would like to personally appreciate the efforts taken by Sunitha from Bubble Farm for the efforts taken to build a relationship with her customers, especially during the lock-down period.

Just imagine yourself driving your Audi A6 or a Mercedes S-Class. Ever thought of buying a luxury car? Owning a decent house property? A family vacation in Europe, taking your kids to Disneyland. If you haven’t thought of it yet, you are thinking small. Not seeing the big picture! People around you will get rich and achieve the luxuries, while you will be sitting home watching TV, looking at your wallet, and complaining about your whole life. What if I say Becoming Rich is simple!
BECOMING RICH IS SIMPLE
The only thing that comes between you becoming rich is YOU. Becoming rich as it depends on your mentality and on how you multiply your money. If you have a very good eye on shares, stocks, and the market trend it will be easy as a pie. But not everyone has such an expertise on these fields. Before moving onto this plan make sure you go through thePlan to be Secure first.
Since you must have a backup plan. “A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not on the branch but on its wings”. Successful investment is never about the place where you invest, it depends on whether you are a good investor or not. i.e. how you invest matters! This is the least underrated topic that no one try to understand. Defining it simply, if you want to be a successful investor you should have at least these three qualities.
#1 Education (Not a degree in financial management)
How do you educate yourself for becoming rich? Read books, seek knowledge from experienced personnel. Remember, Don Bradman and Sachin Tendulkar are the best cricketers of all time, but they always had a coach. You should have the knowledge of how the market works in certain situations. You should show some commitment in gaining such knowledge. With constant effort one should develop the mindset of a successful investor. Understanding the basic cash flow is evident in being a good investor.
Running a business includes employees who work for the employer or the business owner. Here the employee gets a fixed amount of money as salary whereas the owner gets the profit and that is comparatively huge. Moreover, owning such business also requires the clear knowledge related and relevant to the field. For that you need experience.
#2 Experience
All batsmen in cricket gets out, even Sachin. That does not mean that he is not good. Every time he gets into the pitch, he gains experience. So, to gain experience you need to start applying your knowledge. You may fail because of some mistakes; it gives you a new experience.
Small mistakes will definitely happen, that teaches your certain lessons. Eventually you will learn more, gain more experience. And that matters the most. To get hold of certain things that you have never achieved, you will have to gain knowledge over areas you never looked upon and give up certain other things. Improve your circles, as debating about Netflix and web series will not take you anywhere.
Make new connections with the people who have experience in this niche. Share your doubts and concerns with them. It improves your mastery too.

#3 Surplus cash flow
This is the trickiest part as it sounds. Surplus cash flow is never a monopoly of rich people. It simply means of rolling your money continuously thereby increasing the amount of money within. People who are willing to invest can put their money in various assets. It can be stocks, company shares, and bonds.
On the other hand, creating assets are indeed considered upright. Why buying other people’s asset when you have the freedom of creating your own? Make others invest in you and your assets. Yes! That is how world’s richest people become the world’s richest ones.
Specifically, take the example of William Henry Gates III, Yes! Bill Gates it is! He created Microsoft and millions of people bought it. Amazon’s Jeff Bezos (currently the richest person in the world) doesn’t own any shops but an online shopping platform. Bernard Arnault – CEO of Louis Vuitton, Mark Zuckerberg – CEO Facebook.
Accordingly, Warren Buffet created Berkshire Hathaway and become a billionaire at the age of 55, having a net worth of 71.8 billion USD, i.e. 71,800 million which is 7 with ten zeros following.

You cannot be millionaire in a day or two unless you are winning a Mega Million lottery.
It is a time taking process, as patience is virtue here. It is with greater knowledge comes greater decisions. Creating an asset has never been easy as it requires solid perseverance and determination. Always think big, start small, so that you face smaller setbacks. First step in understanding the market ups and downs is to read the newspaper. Listen to the market news. Hear what big shots have to say.

Around 63 countries across the world had fought for independence against various colonial powers. But why does India’s freedom struggle stand out in all of them? Why is Indian freedom struggle unique?
It was summer. Not only is the sun too hot to handle but there are others who are burning inside to take revenge on colonial rule. A bloody revolt broke out in Meerut in 1857 when Mangal Panday was hanged for opening fire on his commanding officer. Almost 3,00,000 Indians participated in the revolt against the East India company force. Can you guess what is the strength of the East India company force? Just 21000.
INDIAN FREEDOM STRUGGLE
Even though there is great imbalance in the strength in favour of India, why did we fail to win over British?
It was the monsoon. There were not only floods to Hooghly river, but also a flood of an uprising by people of Bengal for partitioning Bengal into East and West Bengal in 1905 to disturb Hindu and Muslim unity. There was a huge movement (Swadeshi movement) to boycott the foreign goods and boycott Indian services to brits who are living in India. It was one of the biggest movements in Indian history with large scale civilian participation. But in the end it was also weaned off without much success.
It was winter and nights were very chilly in the U.P. But Indian people got no chill towards Britishers. They were very angry about what happened in Jallianwala Bagh. On the call of Gandhiji, everyone started protesting non violently (until Chauri Chaura) against brits in Non-cooperation movement, again biggest mass movement in Indian freedom struggle which ended abruptly by Gandhiji without any notable success.
The above three movements are individually capable of overthrowing the British from India but still failed to do so. why?
1. Lack of Unity among local princes and states
There were more than 570 princely states under various Indian princes and Indian nobles. Most of them do not have any nationalist feeling towards the country and most of the time they supported Britishers in wars against Indians. For example, Raja Shakthi sinh of Rajputs, Raja Haranam Singh of Kapurthala supported British to suppress the revolt of 1857 for petty gains
2. Lack of Education and political awareness
People in India during 1905 were mostly illiterate. The literacy rate was less than 10%. Therefore it was very difficult for leaders to cultivate awareness and make them participate in the movement against Britishers. The national movement did not reach the common man and was only confined to urban centres.
3. Chauri Chaura incident
It was a violent incident that took place near Gorakhpur, U.P in which 22 Indian policemen were killed by 2500 protestors. This incident made Gandhiji very sad and he suspended the whole non-cooperation movement. He felt that people are not yet ready to take up a mass movement which is true to a large extent. Gandhiji taught that “Man by nature is good. If we want to change a man completely, it is only possible through non-violence.” It took a lot of time for people to actually understand the ideology of Gandhiji.
But as time passed on, The people started understanding the ideas of Tall nationalist leaders and started following them to the freedom struggle. Our leaders also started innovative techniques to reach to large masses and create awareness about British atrocities. Different leaders chose different ways to reach the masses. There were people with different ideologies to achieve independence for India. For example, Ram Prasad Bismil followed the path of Radical militancy, Chitranjan das and Motilal Nehru followed the path of Legislative propaganda, Patel and Nehru followed Gandhian philosophy, Subhash Chandra Bose followed International military struggle, means may be different for different individuals but Ends are same for everyone i.e Independence to India.
But why did it take 200 years to get independence?
The social and cultural inequalities and dogmas are so deep-rooted in Indian societies, it took a very long time to progressive leaders like Gandhi, Nehru, Azad to convince people to speak in a single voice.
The religious, caste and ethnic diversities in India are used by the British effectively to divide and rule.
Due to the industrial revolution, the British had access to most modern war machinery and financial resources.
International support and competition for colonialism also helped the British to retain a large number of colonies across the world.
Therefore it took more than 90 years to set the sun in the “Empire in which the sun never sets”
There are many countries that fought for independence from various colonial empires. But the Indian freedom struggle is a very unique one. The countries which fought for their independence tried to give difficulties to the colonial rulers. They tried to kill them, evict them, conspire against colonial powers etc… That is why historians call most of such movements as “Wars of independence“. But in the context of India, we don’t call our fight for independence as War. We call it the “Indian freedom struggle“. The reason is, for our independence, we struggled, we experienced pain, we fought, we went to jails, we were hanged. Ours is not any war, ours is an emotional struggle that we can proudly showcase to the world.
Why Indian Freedom Struggle Is Unique?
There are multiple failed movements, uncountable failed delegations, infinity illegal arrests and detentions but at the end, our national leaders (Hero’s) achieved what everyone wants. What India wants. All the situations, incidents, hurdles and shortcomings that are seen during the freedom struggle acted as great learning for our leaders like Nehru, Patel, Ambedkar etc… to build India’s future through the constitution. India was transformed into a democratic sovereign republic where people are more powerful than their rulers. As the saying goes, Good things happen to those who wait, though India was under foreign claws for 200 hundred years, It has become what it is today with sheer determination and sacrifices. We must never forget even a single person who gave his time, blood and life and we must cherish every individual who was part of the National freedom movement until we live or until India lives.
