Thanks God that this year my whole family and I could meet together in our house and were able to go to Andaman Island for three night and four days in this month of August from 2nd till 5th ,2023. We are proud that our country received freedom from British Raj in the year 1947, 15th August by the Non-Violence Movement of Mahatma Gandhi and freedom fighter Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and many others. By visiting Andaman Island, I have discovered that there Ross Island was captured by Japanese Army for four four years before our nation’s freedom in 1943, when Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose hoisted our National Flag before the freedom of our nation and many freedom fighters were hanged in Port Blair Cellular Jail by British Raj among them more than 80% were Bengali. We thank our God for giving us freedom without bloodshed.
