As a member of your family, I cannot bear witness to any of your sorrows, I cannot bear to see your dreams shattered. I am here to fulfil your resolutions.”
2021 – “India has fought for the motherland, culture and freedom for centuries. Amid victories and defeats, the aspiration of freedom engraved in the mind was never diminished.
