Americans have been waiting to celebrate 4th of July which they could not in 2020 under the shadow of COVID-19. Mercifully, the pandemic, though still around, is not threatening enough to prevent Americans from getting back their traditional 4th of July parades, fireworks and parties.
I am glad to know that The Indian Panorama is bringing out a special edition in commemoration of the historic event. It was on July 4 in 1776 that the founding fathers of this great nation signed a declaration of Independence from the British rule. I am told the edition will carry a 10-page story of making of America. I congratulate the publisher/ editor Prof. Indrajit Saluja and his dedicated team for the publication’s laudable effort to educate Indian Americans on American history.
4th of July brings to mind the trials and tribulations of our forefathers, first in wresting Independence, and then with problems of diverse nature- domestic and foreign, and notwithstanding any obstacles, making America the strongest nation in the world. I bow my head to our forefathers and wish and pray that each succeeding generation keeps their sacrifices in mind and continues to build on their achievements.
Happy 4th of July!
