Independence Day

Jawaharlal Nehru said on Indian Independence Day, 1947 :

 "At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new…India discovers herself again."

After more than two hundred years of British rule, India finally won freedom on 15th August, 1947. All the patriotic hearts rejoiced at seeing India becoming a sovereign country and the triumph of thousands of martyred souls. It was a re-birth of a new nation and a new beginning. The only fact that marred the happiness of the fruits by the blood of martyrs was the fact that the country was divided into India & Pakistan and the violent communal riots took away a number of lives. It was on the eve of 15th of August, 1947 that India tricolor flag was unfurled by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, on the ramparts the Red Fort, Delhi.

 As the tri-colour unfurls in its full splendor on the 15th day of this August, let’s come  together to make  this country a great country

On the eve of Indian Independence Day, let’s pay our modest homage to all the freedom warriors who sacrificed their lives.

Happiest Independence Day to all
