It was raining heavily in Thrissur on the days prior
to the Independence Day, and classes were suspended for almost a week.
So with roads cut off owing to rising water levels, attendance
for the flag hoisting ceremony
was quite low. Even the proposed flood
related relief work had to be
dropped.
Two Documentaries received from the Films Division 1. Jallianwala Bagh (12 Min 22
sec /Hindi) 2.Elephants Do
Remember (38 Min/English) proposed to be screened on Independence Day
was screened only 20 August 2019.
Following the screening, on Tuesday, 20.8.2019, the students were asked to share their
impressions. Select comments are posted below:
It is a clear proof that the massacre in Jallianwala Bagh is
horrific....Those who today enjoy the fruits
of freedom are completely unaware
of the problems and struggles faced by
Indians in pre-independent India. Perhaps these documentaries will open
their eyes... Mahesh-BEd
student
These
days people watch cricket matches between India and Pakistan with a great deal
of interest (perhaps it is one way of
showing love for ones country)...But only
videos like these that can make one realize the degree of love and dedication our freedom fighters
had shown for our country. -Fousya, MEd student
Studying History during school days never evoked any
feelings...These videos are indeed
capable of evoking our feelings...revealing the real spirit of
our freedom fighters...-Priya, BEd student
