"Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake."
-Lines from "Where the mind is free"
by Rabindranath Tagore
Independence is the state of being free from outside control, to have sovereignty and liberty.
Everyone in this world having independence either at national level or personal level or even both is not necessary, but definitely is
a necessity.
After the struggle of more than 200 years, India received its necessity, its freedom.
Thousands of movements and billions of sacrifices took place and finally on August 15, 1947 the British Government due to their inability to rule the country because of the damage during World War II, passed the Indian Independence Act which declared India a free, independent country.
Since that day, India has shown phenomenal growth industrially and economically. India today is the largest democracy and the seventh largest in area in the world with a population of
1.25 billion.
69 years it has been since India got its independence and even though it has adapted modernity, the culture and the love for the country remains the same in the hearts of its citizens across the globe.
Even today, Independence day continues to have utmost importance and is celebrated grandly every year with flag hoisting and kite flying. The day is also considered a national holiday as a tribute to all the leaders who fought for the country's freedom.
India will never forget the sacrifices made for the freedom that we enjoy today and shall always continue to celebrate its independence with pride and glory.
