Thought-Provoking!
Today I asked these children whom we recently freed from slavery,”What is freedom?”One replied, “I can see my mother after one year & hug. ”Another said,”Now I can dream to become a teacher.” And the third told, “Now I can speak freely. Someone will listen.” #IndependenceDayIndia pic.twitter.com/lsQSrViBm0
