Thank you Harshu for sharing.. Though I had read all these information so many times before , I get goosebumps whenever I read about such events happened around the time of Independence.. probably I am the only person in our group who was fortunate to witness the National flag hoisted for the first time. In the absence of Television we largely depended on the radio and on the news reels shown in the cinema houses .I was only eight at that time, but still remember my father hoisting the flag in the terrace of our house exactly at 12.00 clock midnight of the 14th.

Saraswathi aunty.
