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
Happy Independence Day!!!
