INTRODUCTION

India is celebrating seventy-five years of independence, namely, Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav. Most of us are born in Independent India. India of today has achieved significant growth in many areas. At the same time, it has had many challenges to come out of the ill effects of foreign occupation. While the freedom struggle was a remarkable period of our modern history, rebuilding India post-independence was a completely different experience.
Each year, post-independence, was a stride ahead along with the burden of climbing out of social, security, and economic challenges amongst many others for a country as diverse as India to traverse 75 years of charting a new history for the ancient civilization that we are. Therefore, as a part of celebrating Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, the Journal Committee invited past presidents of the Society who have completed 75 years of their life to share their experiences of India @ 75.
