एक खत.... सहरद के रखवालो के नाम...

Usually we just Celebrate the Republic day and Independence day but we are actually not able to express our feelings, love and gratitude towards the real heros of our nation.

Having this thought in mind this time Anant Aman Social Welfare Society taken an initiative for the same.

We asked different group of people to write letters to these BSF soldiers expressing their views about them, what they feel for them,  their unshown love and respect , that they have for them.

Majority of the person includes students and teachers from different schools and colleges. Also many other persons shared their views with us and wrote letters, poems, articles etc. for soldiers.
The school's participated in this activity were : Govt school, Private school, or the schools run by Trust. Few names undermentioned :

सरस्वती शिशु मंदिर उच्चतर माध्यमिक विद्यालय..

शासकीय सिन्धी कन्या माध्यमिक विद्यालय..

कस्तूर बाल मंदिर हाई स्कूल

Government School at Juni Indore..

Shri Agrasen Vidyalaya..

Also , our NGO members, Volunteers, other members of societies and general public participated whole heartedly for this thanks giving gesture of AASWS.

All the letters were collected by our NGO members and distributed with love amongst the BSF Soldiers at Revati Range during National Shooting Competition held on Saturday 18-Feb-2017.

HOMOSEXUALITY.......AN UNNATURAL CRIME..??

In 1900s, atleast 99% of the population would tell you that "Man will never fly".They did not end here, they even said "If God wanted man to fly, he would have given us wings". Nonetheless, we do fly despite whatever was said. This was the case then and somewhat similar is the case now. Humans are so consumed by the fact that whatever is practised till date is right and anything new which tends to defy these facts is mandatorily wrong. Same is the opinion they share when it comes to homosexuality. People have never failed to raise eyebrows and disagree with the very idea of homosexuality. Moreover, many term it as an unnatural offence. However, we often forget "Beliefs, no matter how sincerely held, do not alter the facts". Even if millions of people share those beliefs, it does not change the fact that homosexuality is not against the nature.

Sexuality is not something you choose, nor is it something that anyone should be made to feel ashamed of. The past is full of incidents where people have fought for homosexual rights. Gay(pride) parades are constant motivation for people to accept reality of homosexuality. In 2008, five cities in India organised gay parade. A major breakthrough occured recently, when Canada's PM Justin Trudeau danced along with people and became a part of pride parade in Toronto started on June 1, 2016 and continued for a week. This was the first time ever a political involvement was shown in gay parade. However, the pace is very slow and homosexuality is still considered a taboo in India. We Indians have always been cautious when it comes to expanding our horizons. We often tend to critisize the dark clouds for hiding the sun, although we fail to see the rain they bring as a relief. Similarly,we often critisize homosexual marriages as it will arise a generation that will be either "fatherless" or "motherless", regardless of the boon homosexual marriages bring to our society in the form of child adoption. Provided the fact that homosexual couples can not reproduce and will eventually go for child adoption to fulfill their child cravings. It will do nothing but ameliorate the life of the adopted child.

"To be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others". 

One has the right to do anything untill it does not harm anybody, and it is a high time to stand up to this. Let us broaden our mindset and accept homosexuality on our individual level. Let us take action and be the instrument of change we desire.
