Independence Day
August 15 is the 65th Independence Day of India, a souvenir to express our
gratitude to previous generations who strove for the freedom of this
country. Now, before I forget, here`s wishing everyone a joyous
Independence Day.
Jawaharlal Nehru said on Indian Independence Day, in 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 and our tricolor unfurled and waved for the
first time with pride in the skies. All the patriotic hearts rejoiced
at seeing India becoming a sovereign country and the triumph of
thousands of martyred souls.
