15 August Happy Independence Day
2021
Independence Day holds special significance in all our
hearts. Not only does August 15 mark the day India gained independence from
200-year-old colonial rule, but Independence Day also serves as a reminder of
all the virtues, pride, colourful history, cultural richness, diversity and
landscapes which we must all feel proud to call our homeland. It's also the day
when we commemorate and pay homage to the courageous sacrifices of our freedom
fighters, who fought hard with a worthy patriotic spirit to get their home free
of British oppression. It's also the day that marks the anniversary of
undivided India's separation into two nations- India and Pakistan.
The day not only holds
national importance, but India's freedom struggle, courage and valour shown by
our resilient patriots and freedom fighters is something that inspired people
across the globe back then and still resonates in people's hearts. The message
of non-violence, particularly, is something that is still remembered by people
worldwide. Who could forget the spirited march for freedom led by great leaders
like Mahatma Gandhi, Rani Lakshmi Bai, Bhagat Singh, Subhas Chandra Bose? Most
importantly, it was not just an independence march won through wars, but
through the hard work and determination put by millions of Indians, no matter
how small or big their individual contribution was.
As India enters its 75th year of independence, it's very
important that we continue to cherish and practise the same ideals and values
our great countrymen held dear during their struggle to build an independent
India. While the celebrations are marked by the beautiful unfurling of our
tricoloured flag, hoisting of kites, enthusiastic patriotic spirits, and an
address to the nation given by our Prime Minister, and other state chief
ministers as well. Many patriotic events are held across the country and people
of all ages participate. While the pandemic may have dampened the spirit of the
national holiday, there's no reason to miss out on the significance and
celebrations. From virtual celebrations to greeting one another, here are some
patriotic wishes, messages and quotes to celebrate the day in its full fervour.
These are perfect to share Indian Independence Day messages for family, friends
and loved ones.
