In advancing teenage, our generation which could read English well and was brought up on Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats and Byron, have stored in our minds with the memories of the communal orgies of 1946-47, the dawn of independence on the night of 14/15 August 1947. We, the children of freedom fighters, had kept awake till midnight when came the sonorous voice of Omkarnath Thakur heralding Indian Independence with Vande Mataram.
