1947
On the 15th of August every year, every Indian is made aware of the chequered past of the country. The arduous struggle for freedom and the immortal sacrifices of our freedom fighters is remembered by the entire nation. On this day, the largest democracy of the world celebrates the gift of freedom given to her by the brave patriots.
This day commemorates India's legal freedom from the British imperialistic rule. The celebrations begin in the morning when the National Flag is unfurled at the Red Fort. The Tri - color waving in the wind symbolises the assertion of the country's freedom; her triumphant call of sovereignty. The National flag is hoisted in the schools through out the country. It is put up on the rooftops of most houses and can even be found on the vehicles of many people. It is a national holiday so the people attend the schools and their offices only for the flag hoisting ceremony.

Nation after the flag has been unfurled. In his speech,
the Prime Minister speaks of the country's achievements,
major issues facing the nation and future plans for
further progress.
