“Happiness is simply a habit of looking on the brighter side of everything.” – Richelle E. Goodrich
It is very easy to look at all the chaos around us and stop believing that some good must be happening somewhere. To peer into the darkness and find the light is something that requires a lot of courage. This Republic Day, we asked people if they have faith in the brighter side – if they believe in the better India. And heart-warming responses came in from all over. These are some of the many reasons why Indians #BelieveInTheBetterIndia:
1. For the love of education:
