It's time to Celebrate Our 73rd Independence Day

Independence, Svatantra a word that makes every soul aware that no one is holding them back from breathing freely. No one is holding a grasp on their freedom. This is how it would have felt years back when great freedom fighters could see their blood and sweat finally bearing fruit. When they could stand tall with head held high hoisting the tricolor on the land of free India. Words are incapable of expressing the wave of energy and enthusiasm that would have been in the hearts of our great forefathers.

Britishers ruled over India for 100 years, but the country woke up when there was a sepoy mutiny in Meerut. Around world war I, the movement for Independent India begun under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, who took the Whole India under the cloak of truth and non-violence and showed the path to the freedom. There were many ups and downs. Many unsuccessful movements but one thing which never deviated all the devotees of the motherland was the desire of seeing India a free country and standing as a nation unbound from suppression of foreign nation.
