Independence Day


“Long
years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes  when we will redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. 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, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance…. We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again.”

- Jawaharlal Nehru (Speech on Indian Independence Day, 1947)


Independence Day

Commemorating the day India attained freedom (15th August); Independence Day is celebrated with flag hoisting ceremonies and cultural programmes in the state capitals. The Prime Minister”s speech at the Red Fort in Delhi is the major highlight. The Delhi skyline gets dotted with thousands of kites taking to the sky this very day.

On 15 August 1947, India attained freedom from the British rule. Every year, August 15 is celebrated as the Independence Day in India. This national festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm all over the country.

The preparations begin a month in advance. Roads are decorated with flags and buntings. Buildings of national importance are illuminated.

    Good thoughts for Independence Day. I”d like to add a few comments too: Although we attained independence in 1947, our laws are still geared to maintaining a colonial government, and the British have been replaced by a ruling class, some of whoom, unfortunately, have criminal antecedents!
    Let us strive to make our laws less colonial, and to make India, not just ”Hindustan” but a paradise for people of all castes and religions.
