Tricoloured flags hoisted with pride, kites in the air and a spirit of patriotism and gratitude for the nation, Independence Day celebrations are a cherished moment for all of us. The date, August 15 holds special significance in the heart of every Indian as we commemorate the day to value and cherish the great courage and valour our leaders, freedom fighters showcased to build our mighty nation and free our country from 200-year-long British colonial rule.
It was on this very day in the year 1947 that India received freedom from British rule and also became a sovereign nation. Not only was the fight for independence a long, arduous road, but it was also a fight won through the hard work and struggles led by one and many, individuals and groups of people. This year, India will be celebrating its 75th independence day. The day also reminds us of the virtues which define India, to take pride, celebrate and respect our noble country's rich honour, valour, rich history, culture and tradition. Most importantly, the day makes us all remember the core value our country was built on- peace and freedom of expression. Usually, Independence Day celebrations are marked by grand I-Day celebrations held at Red Fort, a speech delivered by the country's Prime Minister, flag hoisting and other state and national level events to pay respects.
