“This is the 67th year of Indian Independence Day Celebrationâ€
Indian Independence Day known to be regarded with attention annually on 15 August happens to be a national holiday in India to make honorable mention of the nation's independence from British rule on 15 August 1947. India accomplished freedom following an independence movement celebrated for largely nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience influenced by the Indian National Congress (INC).
Independence corresponded exactly accompanying the partition of India, during which the British Indian Empire was divided along religious lines into the Dominions of India and Pakistan; the partition was accompanied by violent riots and mass casualties.
To emphasize on the flagship event in Indian Independence Day celebrations, it takes place in Delhi, where the prime minister hoists the national flag at the Red Fort and delivers from its barricade a speech. The holiday is regarded with attention throughout India accompanied by flag-hoisting ceremonies, parades as well as cultural events. Interestingly, Indians celebrate the day by displaying the national flag on their attire, accessories, homes and vehicles; by listening to patriotic songs, watching patriotic movies; at the same time bonding with family and friends. Books and films feature the independence and partition in their narrative. As a special mention, separatist and militant organisations have often carried out terrorist attacks on and around 15 August, and others have declared strikes as well used black flags to boycott the celebration.
Morning Cable wishes every proud Indian, Happy Independence Day.
Remember, Freedom Was Not Gifted To Us,
It Was Snatched By An Unstoppable Fight,
Fighters Painted With Blood On Their Life’s Canvas,
Still They Never Turned Back With Fright!
Happy Independence Day - 2013!
