I wanted to post this yesterday, but got pre-occupied with some other work. As you may know, yesterday was Childrens' day - November 14th is the birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of our nation. He used to love children a lot. So, after he assumed office in the year 1959, we celebrate Nov.14th as children's day in India.
While you celebrate the day actively at your schools and homes, here are some thoughts for the day...
On this day, most schools all over India celebrate the event. I said most, since I'm not sure about the government run schools or certain others like poor homes and juvenile homes. They hardly get their daily needs fulfilled, so where from they will derive the energy to celebrate these special occasions? I'm sure most of them wouldn't have heard about childrens' day at all - a day, ironically, completely dedicated to them. We aren't even talking about those children who doesn't even get a fair chance to go to a school - what about them? I don't know...
Did you know?
While 20th November is universally celebrated as Childrens' day, in India this day falls on the Nov.14th! There are some other nations of the world, that too celebrate it on a different day than 20th November.
