Happy India Independence Day Wishes

India achieved independence following the Indian independence movement noted for largely peaceful nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience led by the Indian National Congress. Independence Day celebrated in India on 15 August commemorating India's independence from the British rule and its birth as a sovereign nation on 15 August 1947. All Indians are celebrating its Independence Day with flag-hoisting ceremonies, parades and cultural events. 

 The independence coincided with the partition of India wherein the British Indian Empire was divided along religious lines into two new states—Dominion of India (later Republic of India) and Dominion of Pakistan (later Islamic Republic of Pakistan); the partition was stricken with violent communal riots.

The Independence Day is a national holiday in India. The flagship event takes place in Delhi where the Prime Minister hoists the national flag at the Red Fort, followed by a nationally broadcast speech from its ramparts. The day is observed all over India with flag-hoisting ceremonies, parades and cultural events. Citizens rejoice the day by displaying the national flag on their attire, household accessories, vehicles; varied activities such as kite flying, bonding with family and friends, and enjoying patriotic songs and films are seen.

"India was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit the mother of Europe’s languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all".
Will Durant, American historian

"In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be won" Franklin D. Roosevelt

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action–
Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.
Rabindranath Tagore

"Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men" Dwight D. Eisenhower

"Liberty is the breath of life to nation" Bernard Shaw

We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made!” –Albert Einstein

 The Independence Day of any country is a moment of pride and glory. On this special occasion, rich tributes are paid to the freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives and fought to free their motherland from the clutches of the oppressors – British who ruled the country.

 

“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.”    
   
    - Jawaharlal Nehru
    (Speech on Indian Independence Day, 1947)

I WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY
MAY OUR COUNTRY PROGRESS IN EVERYWHERE AND IN EVERYTHING
SO THAT THE WHOLE WORLD SHOULD HAVE PROUD ON US

In the 1929 Lahore session of Indian National Congress, the Purna Swaraj declaration, or "Declaration of the Independence of India" was promulgated, and 26 January was declared as India's Independence Day. The Congress called people to take pledge on that day until India attained complete independence from the Great Britain. Between 1930 and 1947, 26 January was observed as the Independence Day of India, and carried symbolic value to the Congress. Following the actual independence in 1947, the Constitution of India came into effect on and from 26 January 1950; since then 26 January is celebrated as the Republic Day.

On the Independence Day and the Republic Day, patriotic songs in Hindi and regional languages are broadcast on television and radio channels. They are also played alongside flag hoisting ceremonies. Patriotic films are broadcast on television channels. Over the decades, according to the Times of India, the number of such film broadcast has decreased as channels report that too many patriotic films would overwhelm the audience who want popular entertaining films to enjoy the holiday. The population cohort belonging to the Generation Next often combine nationalism with popular culture during the celebrations. Outfits displaying the three colours of the national flag—saffron, green and white; use of food colours to make savouries and delicacies resembling the tri-colour; cloth-designs reflecting ideas gleaned from the cultural traditions of India are example of such mixtures. Retail stores offer discounts on merchandise to promote sales at this time of year. Times of India has also cites commercialization of patriotism as a negative facet.
