"Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?" These profound words by Mahatma Gandhi encapsulate the essence of independence and liberty—values that are truly invaluable. This sentiment resonated vibrantly during the Independence Day Celebration at Indian School Sohar, where the exuberance and pride of the students shone brightly. The event commemorated this historic occasion, marking the day when India broke free from the bonds of British rule, filling the atmosphere with patriotism and enthusiasm that reflected the spirit of the nation. The gathering was honoured by the presence of the Chief Guest, Mr. Abraham George, President of the School Managing Committee, along with fellow SMC members Mr. Ajay Damani, Mr. Amit Shah and Mr. Naveen Kumar. They were graciously escorted to the stage by the Principal, Vice-Principal, and Assistant Vice-Principal, adding a touch of formality and dignity to the celebrations.
The Principal extended a warm welcome to the gathering and eloquently reminded everyone that freedom was not solely won through battles, but through the profound contributions of writers, artists, and creative minds. They illustrated the notion that the pen can indeed be mightier than the sword, emphasizing the powerful resonance of words beyond the reach of any weapon. She encouraged each individual to recognize their unique role in the nation's progress and urged them to harness their talents in the pursuit of a brighter future.
