Happy Independence Day
No Indian on earth can forget that memorable midnight of August 15, 1947, as it is the time, when India gained independence from the British. The otherwise suppressed tri-colored flag of India was given its due respect, when it was hoisted in the midnight on the Independence Day. Cultural programs and flag-hoisting ceremonies are the predominant affair of the day, while colorful kites fill the sky in the evening, to symbolize freedom. People indulge themselves in remembering the heroes of the freedom struggle and pay homage to them.
In all the schools and colleges across India, no academic work is done on Independence Day, but all the students and staff members would be present in their respective educational institutions, to celebrate the day. A sort of social gathering is arranged in the educations institutions, wherein cultural programs are organized. Flag hoisting ceremony takes place within their respective premises. As the flag is hoisted by the head of the institution (mostly the principal), students sing national anthem and pay respect to their flag and to uphold the sovereignty of the country.
This national festival is celebrated with great pleasure all over the country. It was August 15, 1947, the nation woke up breathing in the air of freedom & ready for a new beginning. It is the freedom that gave India a new Identity as a sovereign country after 300 years of colonial rule. It was on the eve of 15th of August, 1947 that India tricolor flag was unfurled by Jawahar Lal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, on the ramparts the Red Fort of Delhi. Delhi’s skyline gets dotted with thousands of kites taking to the sky this day.
