Why we are celebrating Independence day



Independence Day in India marks a day of pride for Indian citizens. but In other meaning we are celebrating as a holiday. It is a day when they are reminded of the independence struggle that preceded August 14, 1947. This year, Independence Day marks 63 years of freedom.A country that is known for its religious and cultural diversity, is brought together in a unifying thread on this special occasion of independence day.

Celebrations run throughout the country with Indians participating in events like Independence day quiz, independence day slogans, writing contests, kite-flying, etc.

I remembering when I was studying in school and go to school for Dramas, Songs and cultural activities and after that we eat sweets On Independence day, even the corporate world is not left untouched. Many companies are encouraging employees to send each other Independence Day messages, to read out historic independence day speeches, to share independence day greetings and what not. This day brings the country together and proves our resilience to foreign forces. However, internal threats such as home sponsored terrorism worry the government and citizens more than ever before.

Independence day is probably also a time when one needs to sit and reflect. It is a time when we not only read Independence Day quotes or speeches, but derive lessons of true freedom from them. Independence Day images are those of a bright blue sky, of free pigeons and of our tri-colour flag in the blowing breeze. What we need to add to it is a sense of peace

After all........ what you think...:

The day after: A number of small flags can be seen dumped in garbage heaps or crushed by vehicles. Why? People, especially kids, usually lose interest in the tricolour (mostly hand-held small flags) after a whole day of waving and carrying. This is, of course, unintentional insult. and Small flags do not qualify to be the official tricolour for not meeting the laid down specifications, still...

  1. In Qatar, my work desk holds the Indian tricolor all the year round. Let us not forget national fervor and pride in the midst of mundanities that life throws at us.
