If I Could Step Into One Moment in History… I Know Exactly Where I’d Go. 🇮🇳
If you could go back and witness any historical event, which one would you pick?
If I could go back and witness any historical event, I wouldn’t choose a famous battle.
I wouldn’t choose a royal coronation.
I’d choose a moment when India was deciding what kind of country it wanted to become.
I would want to witness the making of the Indian Constitution.

And perhaps the most interesting question would be:
If they could see India today, what would they think we did right—and what would they ask us to change? 🇮🇳

Even if they ban the books, or tried to wipe out the history, people will always remember the ugliness and bitterness that they have seen or have lived…
Just remember that hiding your head under the sand does not wipe out what have been done.
Books can be banned, but the memory and words are always going to be preserved in the head …
