independence was published in August 15, 1947 in edition of ‘The Hindu’
• It is a defense of Indian civilization and culture with essays on Indian spirituality, religion, art, literature and polity.

Aurobindo’s views on Free India
• I can observe on this day either approaching fruition or initiated and an achievement.
• For I have always held and said that India was arising, not to serve her own material interests only to achieve expansion, greatness, power and prosperity though these too she must not neglect and certainly not like others to acquire domination of other people, but to live also for God and the world as a helper and leader of the whole human race.

Partition must go• India is free, but she has not achieved
unity, only a fissured and broken freedom.
• Old communal division into Hindu and Muslim seems to have hardened into the figure of a permanent political division in the country.
• By whatever means, the division must and will go, for without it the destiny of India might be seriously impaired and even frustrated.

Unification of mankind• The unification of mankind is under way,
though only in an imperfect initiative, organised but struggling against tremendous difficulties.
• The unification is a necessity in the course of nature, an inevitable movement and it’s achievement can be safely foretold.
• Without it the freedom of small people can never be safe and large and powerful nations cannot really be secure.
• A new spirit of oneness will take held of the human race.

“Immortality, unity and freedom are in ourselves and await there our discovery, but for the joy of love God , in us will still remain the many.”
These were Aurobindo’s last words on the nature of freedom.
