INDEPENDENCE DAY 2022. August 15th 2022.
Forget not that the grossest crime is to compromise with injustice and wrong. Remember the eternal law: you must give if you want to get.” - Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.
Independence Day is a day to pay tribute and remember all the freedom fighters who fought for the Independence of the country. On August 15, 1947, India was declared independent from the British colonialism of more than 200 years. The struggle for freedom of India from the British rule lasted for over 90 years from 1857 to 1947, witnessing the sacrifices of many brave hearts who laid down their lives for the freedom of their country and people. The Independence Day celebration is marked throughout the country with Indian flag-hosting ceremonies, drills, and the singing of the Indian national anthem.
To free the nation from the shackles of the British Raj, several freedom fighters went through unimaginable pain and sacrificed their lives for the freedom of India. Some of the greatest freedom fighters that our nation has ever witnessed include (but are not limited to) Neta Ji Subash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Mangal Pandey, Mahatma Gandhi, Rani LakshiBai, Sarojini Naidu, Chandra Shekhar Azad and Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. They displayed immense courage and bravery and revolted against the British empire to demand freedom for their beloved nation. The non-violent and civil disobedience movement led by Matama Gandhi along with other fighters of India constrained the British to leave India.
As the global crisis lingers on, the Ministry of Health Affairs has issued a guideline to ensure that the Independence Day celebrations are done keeping in mind the precautionary measures against the pandemic. However, don’t let the pandemic dampen your spirits of patriotism.
Let's keep the memories of all the people who sacrificed their lives for our country alive. Wishing you a Happy Independence Day 2022!'
A big salute to all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for our independence! Jai Hind!'
