Lack of will power has caused more failure than lack of intelligence or ability.

For those with an independence day, do you think that it will become less important to remember as time goes by, and it becomes old history, or do you think it retains some kind of useful importance relevant to modern life?
Also, how do the independence celebrations go down with people from the country you became independent from?

For example, I wonder what it is like to be British in the US or India during their independence days! I imagine that they can happily join in the celebrations, but it may be a bit weird. Perhaps there is a large difference between these two examples given the difference in how independence happened.

Normally this doesn't have large national celebrations, although the recent Jubilee did have a lot of events associated with it.Originally posted by Singh:
For Britain, might be celebrating Queen's Birthday would come under same categary.

That's good, it looks like people will have problems quoting your initials.Originally posted by Singh:
Its OK. And actually I like to be addressed by my surname.
Possibly, although I think there is more to it then that.It may be becasue of rule of monarchy.
In general, in monarchy, you are suppose to be loyal to the ruler, not to the geographical area ruled by ruler.

The main reason is most likely modesty, which is seen to be good in English culture. Saying things like "My country is so good because of X", "I love my flag" or "we're the best nation on the planet" and so on would often seen as showing off or tacky. Its not that the English don't think that England is good, but that it is seen as lacking in good taste to say it too loudly or to much!

The relationship between the Queen and the countries which have her as head of state is a complex one.Originally posted by Singh:
I was shocked when I came to know that Australia is still under Queen's rule. (some 2-3 yrs back I came to know that.)

Technically she does rule the countries, but in reality she doesn't. In each of these countries there is an unspoken rule that the Queen will not interfere in politics. It does happen occasionally, but it is very rare, and I doubt it will ever happen again.

I suspect that there is a fairly similar view there as here in the UK - that the current system may be flawed, but we don't want to risk having something worse if it ever got changed.Originally posted by Marcus Green:
Which is probably more a comment on Australian Politics that the desirability of having the Queen as head of state.

Almost. There are some members of the Commonwealth of Nations who do not have the Queen as head of state - India is one example! Those which do have the Queen as head of state are called Commonwealth Realms. The Commonwealth Realms are a subset of the Commonwealth.Originally posted by Singh:
Commonwealth Realm is collection of countries that accepts Queen as head of their state.(Practically Queen does not interfere much in the politics of these country but I think legally she can).
Yeah, pretty much. They were all parts of the British Empire. When the Empire ended as various countries gained independence, the Commonwealth was created as an alternative. The idea was that even if the various parts of the Empire are no longer ruled as one country, they still have a lot in common and so there is a good opportunity to have an organisation which allows them to cooperate with each other.Commonwealth countries are collection of countries that were part of British Colony and they choose voluntary to be part of this organisation.

The one exception is Mozambique, which was never part of the Empire, but which was admitted as a special case because of its historic links to South Africa.
