I guess I knew the truth as a child, myself.
I was in my mother's womb when India became free.
I was born exactly one year and nineteen days before we became a republic. I feel very privileged when I think of that -- I was born in Free India.
My parents' fourth and last child. I am as old as my country, give or take a few months. And, on many levels, I feel not only that I have seen a dramatic change taking place in sixty years, but that in some sweet, strange and simple way, I am the change.
I am India.
