Sullia, Aug 16: A woman from a village, working as a coolie, was on her way to work on Sunday August 15 morning. Upon seeing that the national flag was fluttering, she removed her footwear and offered salute to the national flag before proceeding to her workplace. She was alone at that time.
The picture of the woman offering her respects in token of her patriotism has become viral in social websites. The woman concerned has drawn accolades because often people do such things when they are conscious about the presence of other people around. In this case, the woman was all alone.
The Independence Day celebration was organized by Gandhi Vichara Vedike. After the programme ended, a woman on her way to work, as soon as she saw the national flag, kept the things in her hands aside and saluted the flag. Someone who saw her doing this, clicked this photo. The picture was shared in his Twitter account by BJP national secretary, C T Ravi. He said in his tweet that the patriotism exhibited by the village lady is representative of the alacrity and earnestness of the Indian people on Independence Day.
Lakshmeesha Gabaladka, president of Gandhi Vichara Vedke analysed the photo as 'this is India' while noted thinker, Aravinda Chokkady shared the photo on Facebook.
