Children's Day

Today is a very important day to all Indian nationals. It is the birth anniversary of Shree Jawaharlal Nehru, First Prime Minister of our country after Independence from the British Rule. Inspite of his Western Educational background, he fought against the British during the Indepence struggle under Gandhiji's leadership. He portrayed our country's great heritage and history in his book 'Discovery of India'. I have read that book; it was presented to me as first prize in an elocution competition in English during my high school days.

As he liked children very much, his birth anniversary is celeberated as Children's Day in our country.
