Independence Day in India Wednesday, 15 August

India celebrates Independence Day on August 15 each year. India became an independent nation on August 15, 1947, so a gazetted holiday is held annually to remember this date.

It was not so easy for the India to get freedom from the Britishers however; various great people and freedom fighters of India made it a truth. They had sacrificed their lives in attaining the freedom for their future generations without worrying about their comfort, rest and freedom. They planned and acted upon various Independence Movements including violent and nonviolent resistance to get complete freedom. However, later independence Pakistan was partitioned from India which was accompanied by violent riots. That horrible riot was the reason of mass casualties and dislocation of people (more than 15 million) from their homes.

Around 2500 lamps will be illuminated at RED FORT this year.
It’s a spectacular scene and different states celebrate the occasion in a different way; but the view of the capital city is fabulous. Pipe railings are fixed on the sides of the road leading to the Red Fort and hundreds of loudspeakers get fixed around the fort so that even distant people can hear the speech of the Prime Minister without any difficulty. In order to regulate the traffic, police deputations are posted in large numbers who also ensure the security of the V.I.Ps, diplomatic envoys, foreign dignitaries, Ministers and Members of Parliament, etc.
Each and every Indian celebrate his/her freedom in their own way such as decorating their places of celebration, raising National Flag, march past, watching favourite movies, dancing in the streets, singing National Anthem or patriotic songs or participating in many social activities organized at public places. Independence Day is celebrated by the government of India every year when the current Prime Minister of India raises out tricolour national flag at the Red Fort in Delhi followed by Indian army parade, march past, National Anthem recitation, speech and other cultural activities…

INDIA is the most democratic and secularistic country around the world now. Still a question arises that DO INDIAN PEOPLE ARE INDEPENDENT IN ALL SENSES?????
