Significance of Self-fulfillment
Self-fulfillment in India’s history encompasses the realization of one's potential and desires, contributing to personal happiness and individual goals. It signifies the collective aspirations achieved post-independence. The notion is supported by Bhattacharya, who asserts that true fulfillment comes from embracing one's humanity. Additionally, it reflects an individual’s quest for meaning in an undervaluing society and highlights the importance of pursuing personal potential in harmony with the well-being of others, even in the face of external challenges.
