At the stroke of midnight, as India moved into August 15, 1947, three centuries of British colonial rule ended by ending nearly a century of struggle for freedom, battles, betrayals and sacrifices. That was 62 years ago. Much has changed. Each year, August 15 gives us the reason to celebrate all this, and do much more - it is a time to commemorate the greatest moment in Indian history which today signifies a feeling of nationalism, solidarity and celebration.
Throughout the country it is a festive occasion with Flag hoisting ceremonies, cultural programmes, entertainment programmes, competitions & colourful kites flying in the sky.
From the eternal snows of the Himalayas to the peninsula of the far South, from the deserts of the West to the humid deltas of the East, everywhere, be it a Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain or anyone belonging to any other religion comes together, celebrates together, rejoices together & puts forward the concepts of secularism & unity in diversity .
BookMykhana.com salutes the legends in the lights of Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh & many more, who sacrificed their life & fought with mighty Brits to give us freedom to celebrate. Let us work together & take our country to new heights. Jai Hind!
