Independence Day Special

Freedom came to our country on the Midnight of 14th of August, 1947. It was the result of years and decades and centuries of sacrifice and valor on the part of our ancestors and our revered freedom fighters. There were many men and women who had sacrificed their lives for the nation. Today on this day of 15th August we got 73rd years of Independence.

Independence Day is always special, but this year there is an unusual significance attached to it. This day is celebrated every year by the citizens of India, which gives them the opportunities to remember all the freedom fighters who had sacrificed their lives in serving the freedom to the nation. One of them the best leaders was Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. He was also known as Mahatma Gandhi. He was also known as the "Father of the Nation". The citizens of India used to call him "Bapu", as he was loved by every citizen of India.

There are much great freedom fighters who had sacrificed their whole life only to get freedom. We can never forget the sacrifices of the Bhagat Singh, Lala Lajpat Rai, Rani Lakshmibai, Chandrashekhar Azad, Ashfaqulla Khan, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Vallabhbhai Patel, Mangal Pandey, Tatya Tope, Ram Prasad Bismil, Udham Singh, Sukhdev Thapar, Khudiram Bose, Gopal Krishna Gokhale, Sarojini Naidu, Madan Lal Dhingra who had lost their lives just for fighting for their country.

After a century of struggle and being ruled by the British – India was claiming the freedom we always deserved. Men, women, and children are happy to call this land their own for the first time. And today we are respecting the struggle of our ancestors and understanding that we, as citizens, have a responsibility towards our nation too.

The Indian Soldier

Pandit Nehru, first unfurled the National Flag from the ramparts of Red Fort, on 16 August 1947, a day after his famous “Tryst with destiny” speech. Ever since then, the political class has worked hard to make Indians believe that it was entirely their efforts that brought about India’s independence from Britain. A corollary to this assumption, deeply ingrained over time, was that it was the British Indian Armed Forces which allowed the British Empire to rule the subcontinent for over two hundred years.
