An Indian Citizen
In a great election season, a woman was selected in the parliament. She stood on a stage and promised, “I am Priyana Shogan, an Indian President. I will do my work with full heart. I will serve my nation till my last breath. I will live for my people.” The program ended. She went back to her office and sat in her place. She saw a flower book with a letter. The letter was empty, but in one corner of the letter they wrote, “An Indian Citizen.”
An Indian Citizen
On a cool morning, at a school assembly, a girl student, Priyana Shogan, stood on the stage to give a speech.
15/08/1990
“Good morning to everyone who is present here. I am Priyana Shogan. I am studying in 6th Std A. Now I am here to talk about our nation. Today, August 15, 1990, is our Independence Day.
Our ancestors worked for our nation to get independence. Each and everyone has rights to do anything, but the British people ruled us. We all fought and got this independence. So keep it with you. Don’t ignore it. We are very proud to say we are Indian citizens.”
Her speech was brave and showed respect for her nation. The chief guest, Mr. T. Keshvan, Collector of the district, stood and gave applause. Priyana Shogan got first prize in that program.
Priyana Shogan is a great and brave girl. She gave many speeches about the nation. She wished to change her nation into a great country in the world. She read more books about how to change society. She had friends named Roshini, Palana, Nithika, Sashnachan, and Dannikawala. They all encouraged her to achieve her aim and dream successfully.
They all scored 100/100 in Social Science because of their goal. But Sashnachan was poor in Maths, Roshini was poor in Tamil, Palana in English, and Dannika in Science. They all understood their problems and did their best.
A Social Club celebration was announced in their school. Priyana was very excited about it. She prepared her new speech to give to everyone. The day came. Priyana gave a powerful speech. She explained how the subject Social Science was created. The teachers and staff were impressed because they also didn’t know how the subject was created.
Social reformers worked hard, but we only know the leaders. We don’t know the people who joined and sacrificed their lives. We celebrate the leaders, not the workers. In our country and in Russia during World War II, we only know who led, but we don’t know who helped — the farmers, shop owners, army people. They all helped, but we forgot them.
Gandhi started the Salt Satyagraha, but we only know Gandhi. We don’t know all the people who helped him — from small children to old people. They all participated in the rally. We forgot them. We only remember the leader.
We know the king who ruled the country, but we don’t know who worked together. So, I kindly give you a small piece of advice: please remember you are helpers of the leaders and winners of the world.
Thank you!
The speech ended. Everyone clapped and gave great applause. The program ended.
Priyana got news about her friend. She got sick, so she ran to her place. Other friends gathered and helped. Dannikawala informed her parents and went back home.
They talked about Dannika. They were sad. Dannika had a health issue and needed treatment immediately. The doctor said to send her to America to cure it. He said there was a special doctor there and he could cure her health issue.
Priyana asked her dad why she couldn’t get special treatment in India. He replied, “We don’t have advanced medicine and high technology like America.” So she had to go to America.
Priyana felt sad and went to her friend’s home. She said to Dannika, “I promise you. I will give you a keychain. Please keep it with you. In this keychain, our names are there so you can always talk with us.”
Priyana asked, “When will you come back home?”
Dannika said, “After my treatment, I will stay there because of my treatment. My dad also got transferred there. I can come only after 25 years.”
“I am sorry, friend,” Dannika said. Everyone was sad about it. The next day, they packed their things and went to the airport. Dannika and Priyana said goodbye very sadly.
Priyana decided, “I can change my country. The best hospitals and medicines I will build in my future so that people like my friend Dannika don’t have to go to America. I want to change the medical system.”
The next day she went to school and wrote a new speech about medicine in our country to speak on Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam’s birthday. Everyone clapped for her speech.
But this time Priyana was sad. Roshini asked, “Priyana, what happened? Why are you sad?”
She replied, “No one feels about it. Everyone just thinks this is a speech, not reality.”
Roshini said, “Don’t get angry. Every leader and good speaker like Dr. Anna, who spoke in front of people, was not understood at that time. After their hard work, everyone understood. So please don’t be sad.”
Priyana calmed down and thought about her friend Roshini’s words and said, “Okay. I will not behave like a foolish person. Let’s prepare for our exams first. After our exams, we can discuss this matter seriously.”
Everyone said, “Okay, Priyana.”
All prepared for their exams. Our class leader came and announced about a book fair in our school. Students who were interested gave their names. They also said if anyone wanted books, they could buy them there.
Priyana gave her name. Other friends also gave their names. Sashana and Palana asked, “Which books are you going to buy in the book fair?”
Priyana replied, “Did you hear what ma’am said? All the century books are there. I will buy all.”
Palana said, “How can you buy? They cost more. Do you have that much money?”
Priyana said, “No, I don’t have that much money.”
“Then how will you buy?” asked Palana.
Priyana replied, “I will borrow and return it to the book fair. So there is no waste of money for a single book.”
“That is a good idea,” said Roshini.
“Okay, we will do it.”
