Sharing with you the pride of being Indian...
And celebrating another glorious year of her Independence
 |
The
Independence Day of India is celebrated on the fifteenth of August to
commemorate its independence from British rule and its birth as a
sovereign nation in 1947. The day is a national holiday in India. All
over the country, flag-hoisting ceremonies are conducted by the local
administration in attendance. The main event takes place in Delhi, the
capital city of India, where the Prime Minister hoists the national flag
at the Red Fort and delivers a nationally televised speech from its
ramparts. In his speech, he highlights the achievements of his
Government during the past year, raises important issues and gives a
call for further development. The Prime Minister also pays his tribute
to leaders of the freedom struggle.
"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high...
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake."
-Rabindranath Tagore
