Every year on the 15th of August, India celebrates Independence Day with grandeur, pride, and joy. This day reminds us of the core values of unity and diversity and honors the great contributions of our freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives with patriotism and unity to end British colonial rule.
On this day, the national flag is hoisted across the country with pride and respect. Every Indian sings the national song with devotion and enthusiasm. The tricolor—saffron, white, and green—is reflected in dresses, rangolis, boutonnieres, and ribbons. Students of all ages participate in singing patriotic songs, dancing, recitations, and parades at schools, colleges, and educational institutions. The Prime Minister hoists the national flag at the Red Fort in New Delhi, and various cultural programs are held there. Schools distribute chocolates and cakes, while families prepare their favorite foods to celebrate this monumental day.
Independence Day holds immense significance, marking the end of British rule in 1947, a year filled with sacrifices. Today, we enjoy the fruits of freedom, a reminder of the struggles and contributions that made it possible. Every citizen of India eagerly awaits this day throughout the year.
Very Good Morning and Happy Independence Day to All of You.
