"Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge... At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India
will awake to life and freedom." Jawaharlal Nehru,
(audio) on the eve of independence
The day when India woke up to freedom back in 1947 was a day of great celebration. A country got rid of her foreign yoke and became a sovereign nation, she celebrated her sovereignty on this day - the triumph of numerous martyred souls. It was a day of fulfillment, it was the day of a new beginning, a birth of a nation.On the stroke of midnight, a country came into life again as the British handed over the governance of India to the Indian leaders.The long and difficult struggle had borne fruit at last, though the happiness was marred by the fact that the country was divided into India and Pakistan and the violent communal riots had left the countries permanently scarred.
It is our duty to preserve this Freedom!
Carry this forward to the future!
We did,We do,We will do!!!
Set the celebration on Air, Share your Joy,
You're Free to do it,
Share this to every Indian, to say
Vande Mataram!
60th INDEPENDENCE DAY OF INDIA

Freedom is not a Right but a Feeling!
Let's be proud to feel the Freedom!
