"Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we will redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance.... We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again." - Jawaharlal Nehru

On 15 August 1947, India attained freedom from the British Rule. Every year, August 15 is celebrated as the Independence Day in India. This national festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm all over the country.

The Independence Day of any country is a moment of pride and glory. On this special occasion, rich tributes are paid to the freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives and fought to free their motherland from the clutches of the oppressors - British who ruled the country.The British, had initially come for trade but gradually took over the total administration of the country.

At the strike of midnight of the August 15, 1947, India shook off the shackles of British Rule and became free. It was a night of celebration all over the country.

Commemorating the day India attained freedom (15th August); Independence Day is celebrated with flag hoisting ceremonies and cultural programmes all over the country. The main program is held at the Red Fort where the Prime Minster unfurls the National Flag and it is saluted by Guns.

The Prime Minister's speech at the Red Fort in Delhi is a major highlight. Patriotic presentations by school children add colors to the celebrations.

An interesting quote by Bapuji..which I heard yesterday on Vividbharathi..,

Once when Bapuji was praying, his advocate friend visited..,

his friend asked Bapuji..instead of spending time for prayer, he should use it more for social activities..

Gandhiji replied "Theek hein, aaj se tum bhi khaana pina chodke, har waqt practice karna.."

Advocate surprised.."Ye kaise mumkin hein.., Bhojan ke bina tho mere sharir kaise kaam karegi..!"

Bapuji smiled and replied.."Jaise bhojan sharir keliye hein, Waise Prarthana meri Aatma keliye.."

Thats a great quote from Bapuji.., however busy we may be.. we should never forget remembering and thanking the one...who gave us everything we need to survive,

Prayer cleans our mind and heart.., gives us strength to face our difficulties....
