Independence Day celebrated in India on 15 August commemorating
India's independence from the British rule and its birth as a sovereign
nation on 15 August 1947. All Indians are
celebrating its Independence Day with flag-hoisting ceremonies,
parades and cultural events.
India achieved independence following the Indian
independence movement noted for largely peaceful nonviolent resistance
and civil disobedience led by the Indian National Congress. The
independence coincided with the partition of India wherein the British
Indian Empire was divided along religious lines into two new
states—Dominion of India (later Republic of India) and Dominion of
Pakistan (later Islamic Republic of Pakistan); the partition was
stricken with violent communal riots.
The Independence Day is a national holiday in India. The flagship event takes place in Delhi where the Prime Minister hoists the national flag at the Red Fort, followed by a nationally broadcast speech from its ramparts. The day is observed all over India with flag-hoisting ceremonies, parades and cultural events. Citizens rejoice the day by displaying the national flag on their attire, household accessories, vehicles; varied activities such as kite flying, bonding with family and friends, and enjoying patriotic songs and films are seen.
“We have believed – and we do believe now – that freedom is indivisible, that peace is indivisible, that economic prosperity is indivisible”
"India was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit the mother of Europe’s languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all".
Will Durant, American historian
"In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be won" Franklin D. Roosevelt
"Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men" Dwight D. Eisenhower
We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made!” –Albert Einstein

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action–
Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.
Rabindranath Tagore

Indian independence day greetings
The Independence Day of any country is a moment of pride and
glory. On this special occasion, rich tributes are paid to the freedom
fighters who sacrificed their lives and fought to free their motherland
from the clutches of the oppressors – British who ruled the country.
“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)
