On August 14th, at the stroke of midnight the British Flag was lowered. On the first minute of August 15th the Indian tri- colour was raised with pomp and glory,signifying the independence of India from foriegn rule. We were born to freedom and dignity.
On August 15th, 1947 India got freedom from the British rule. From that day on August 15th is celebrated as Independence Day all over the country. Leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Vallabhai Patel, Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Sarojni Naidu and thousands of others struggled fearlessly and not caring for their lives. They lived only to see that India, their motherland, our motherland is free from the shackles of the British Rule.
In every state, city, town, village of India people celebrate this freedom and remember and pay homage to all those martyrs who laid down their lives so that we can live in an Independent India of their dreams.
Although we are pollitically free, we are still the slaves of illeteracy, economic poverty and a hundered and one ills a poor developing nation has to face. Today India still needs to be liberated from corruption, high handedness,exploiting and money grabbing. As we build and provide for ourselve we have to have the sacrifise who suffer injustice and harrasment.
