Respected teachers and my beloved Students, I wish you a happy independence day.

INDEPENDANCE DAY means a day when we had got freedom from not only our brute rulers but freedom from want from fulfillment of right needs... India was under the British rule for 3-4 centuries. It was in 1857 India started it's independence struggle forcefully through a revolt named "The Great Revolt" against the British. Mahatma Gandhi was the spine and brain behind the Indian independence struggle and finally her Independence. "Non-violence" or "Ahimsa" against the cannons and rifles of the so called "MIGHTY" British. His words of wisdom were followed by almost every Indian of that age to follow non-violence and struggle with perseverance and the British finally manumitted India from its bondage. India's independence struggle is a huge epic on its own. "NON_VIOLENCE" was the weapon used to free India. That's why India even today doesn't want resort to force or war unless there is some menace to the security/integrity of Indian unity. India gained independence after nearly 200 years of British rule on 15 August 1947 and Indian tricolor flag was unfurled by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, on the ramparts the Red Fort of Delhi. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's famous speech titled Tryst with destiny: 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." Indians celebrate on August 15 to commemorate its independence and its birth as a sovereign nation; day of a new beginning of world's biggest democracy. The day is a national holiday in India and is celebrated all over the country, every nuke and corner, is through Flag hoisting, distribution of sweets in schools, flying kites, singing patriotic songs, entertainment and cultural programs, march past, speech, etc. The main celebration takes place in New Delhi, where the Prime Minister hoists the National Flag at the Red Fort and delivers speech, highlighting the achievements of his government during the past year, current major issues, future development plans and so on.

Proud to be an Indian. Thank You One and all. Jai Hindh.............
