Independence Day of India
India Independence Day

In India, Independence Day is observed on the 15th August every year, because on the said day of 1947, India won her freedom from the British rule after about 200 years.

It is a red-lettered day, on which the schools and govern­ment and private offices remain closed. Early in the morning, the young students sing in chorus the national anthem in accompaniment of flute and drum marching together in processions in the streets. National flags are hoisted in the houses, schools, colleges, and offices.

Teachers and leaders assemble in a public place to give their patriotic speeches to the people, promising to save the sovereignty and integrity of our vast country. The great sac­rifice of great Indian leaders who dedicated their valuable lives for the cause-'of the country's freedom in the past, is reverently remembered.

It is a great day for India. In Delhi Red Fort Parade Ground, millions of Indians from different parts of the coun­try gather to listen to the annual speech of the Prime Minister. Many dignitaries at home and also from abroad attend the function.

The tri-colour flag is unfurled by the Prime Minister with the national anthem sung vocally or played on musical instruments. A salute of 31 guns is fired, and from the sky, petals of red roses are showered from the army helicopters in the city streets.

Large and coloured processions composed by the peo­ple from different Indian States pass by the Red Fort in a dis­ciplined manner. The charming march of the army personnel's and also that of the school boys and girls who sing and dance as they march forward, are special attractions. It is, no doubt, a wonderful sight of true national spirit.

Every Indian must take an oath on the Independence Day to remain loyal and patriotic and to save his beloved motherland from any outside attack or humiliation, even at the cost of his life. And we must also feel at heart that all the Indians are our brothers and sisters, and

    I think that all the schools in America should have a flag of the U.S on display. It’s good to have a flag at your house. If anyone does have a flag, they should take it down in bad weather like snow, rain, or windy weather. If you do have a flag, you need to all ways take it down at night unless there is a light shining on it. You should always sing the National Anthem at sporting events and say the pledge of Allegiance at political events because it is a good way to show that you love and support your country.…

    THE NATION celebrating its 63rd Independence Day. India’s struggle for Independence is a saga of those thousands of men, women and even children who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of the nation. And so by celebrating Independence Day, a homage is paid to all those who fought to bring Independence to our country. But gone are the days when every Indian citizen valued the importance of this great day. Time has eroded those sentiments and now we observe this day just like any other day or a holiday. Children are forced to go to schools to attend the flag hoisting ceremony by making attendance compulsory. Children seems to have no feeling for this day and the same can be said for the adults in our country also.…

    As you know all of us have gathered here to celebrate 67th independence day of our nation. This day, after the hosting national flag, we usually make mistake by remembering the heroic deeds of only few freedom fighters. But freedom fighting was collective effort. Without cooperation, sacrifice and involvement of all Indians it was impossible to get the freedom. So people of India were the real national heroes behind the success. We should express our sincere gratitude to all those who participated in the freedom struggle. This can only be done by defending our freedom like our ancestral property which cannot be valued. How to defend? Single person cannot defend it; again group effort is essential it is nothing but unity. How to form this unity? We should always remember that only patriotism can form unity irrespective of religion, language, caste, customs and traditions. So having patriotism only can save the freedom of our nation. To keep faith in secularism No compromise must be with patriotism, Punish the forces that support terrorism Else one bad day we will loose our freedom. I would like to express my views about the dark side of Present India. How should I say ‘My INDIA is great’? In this republic from schools to parliament, Elections are held at every moment, Children’s are taught fighting for the seat, How should I say ‘My India is great’? Even after golden jubilee of unconstraint, Many citizens are unable to fill their gut, Rich become richer and rests are indigent, How should I say ‘My India is great’? People are emotionally divided by communalist, Border in the north and south has water dispute, Leaders are selfish and have no solving interest, How should I say ‘My India is great’? Capable civilians are facing unemployment, Socially unfits have led the political movements, Voters are under tense of serious terror threat, How should I say ‘My India is great’? All are seeking benefits without effort, Bribery has become the style of management,…

    Last year, I joined a function in my colony. The president and the secretary invited Prof. V. K. Malhotra as chief guest of the function. He came with his wife and brother at 6 a.m. He met the invited gentry and mixed with them. He was, then, conducted to the central dais, where the flag pole was fixed. The flag was hoisted and a shower of rose petals fell from the flag. The cool breeze of morning swing the flag on the top of the pole. Prof. Malhotra was later on conducted to the stage, where the colony children sang National Song and National Anthem. Some of the dances were presented by the local dance school. Then a few speeches were made by the president and the secretary of the colony. They emphasized for the co-operation of the residents for improved maintenance of the society.…
