Independence Day History..
After more than two hundred years of British rule,
India finally won backs its freedom on 15th August, 1947.
All the patriotic hearts rejoiced at seeing India
becoming a sovereign nation and the triumph of hundreds
and thousands of martyred souls. It was a birth of a new nation
and a new beginning. The only fact that marred the happiness of the fruits
by the blood of martyrs was the fact that the country was divided into
India and Pakistan and the violent communal riots took away
a number of lives.
It was on the eve of 15th of August, 1947 that India tricolor flag
was unfurled by Jawahar Lal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India,
on the ramparts the Red Fort of Delhi. The day is celebrated
to commemorate the birth of the world's biggest democracy
as a national holiday. Schools and people hoist the national flag
through out the country and put them up on the rooftops
and the buildings.
People only go to offices to attend the flag hoisting ceremony.
The Prime Minister addresses the Nation after the flag
has been unfurled recounting the country's achievements of the year,
discussing current major issues and future plans for the progress
of the country. Recently, kite-flying has become a tradition on this day
and people can be seen flying numerous
kites of all colors,
sizes and shapes symbolizing the freedom.

Cards for Independence Day
"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 India discovers herself again."
- Jawaharlal Nehru
