'ONE DAY OF INDEPENDENCE'        

HELLO EVERYONE I AM VIDHISHA MORE THE PROUD CITIZEN OF OUR COUNTRY AND TODAY I HAVE WRITTEN AN ARTICLE COMMEMORATING NATION'S INDEPENDENCE ON THIS OCCASION OF 15th AUGUST 2020 I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE SOME MOMENTS OF HISTORY AND IMPORTANCE OF THIS DAY.

            "INDIA", WHEN WE HEAR THIS NAME WE FEEL PROUD AND HAPPINESS. YES! BECAUSE IT'S A NAME OF OUR COUNTRY. WE ALL ARE THE CITIZENS OF INDIA WE ARE "INDIANS" IT'S A POWERFUL IDENTITY WE HAVE.

 REMEMBERING THE HISTORY AS WE ALL KNOW INDIA GOT THE INDEPENDENCE 15th AUGUST 1947. ON THIS DAY NOT ONLY OUR COUNTRY GOT THE FREEDOM BUT ALSO THE EVERY CITIZENS OF COUNTRY GOT THE FREEDOM TO SMILE, FREEDOM TO OUR PERSONALITY, FREEDOM TO LIVE WITH HONOUR, FREEDOM TO BREATHE AND TODAY WE ARE INDEPENDENT CITIZENS OF INDEPENDENT COUNTRY.

           INDEPENDENCE DAY A NATIONAL HOLIDAY CELEBRATED MANUALLY ON 15th AUGUST ON THIS DAY WE RAISES A FLAG AND SING A NATIONAL ANTHEM GIVING THE TRIBUTE TO OUR FREEDOM FIGHTERS. 

THIS DAY IS CELEBRATED EVERYWHERE IN INDIA WITH A GREAT HAPPINESS. EVERY YEAR OUR RESPECTED PRIME MINISTER VISITS THE RED FORT IN DELHI RAISES A FLAG AND ADDRESS TO THE NATION, PARADE IS HELD BY OUR ARMED FORCES, PATRIOTIC SONGS ARE SUNG AND MANY OTHER ACTIVITIES. IT IS 74th INDIAN INDEPENDENCE DAY THIS YEAR WHICH MEANS INDIA HAS ACHIEVED 73 YEARS OF FREEDOM.

              IMPORTANCE OF THIS DAY IS WE ALL KNOW COUNTRY GOT INDEPENDENCE FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM. INDEPENDENCE COINCIDED WITH PARTITION OF INDIA IN WHICH BRITISH INDIA WAS DIVIDED ALONG RELIGIOUS LINES INTO DOMINIONS OF INDIA AND PAKISTAN. 

ON 15th AUGUST 1947,OUR FIRST PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA JAWAHARLAL NEHRU RAISED THE INDIA NATIONAL FLAG ABOVE LAHORI GATE OF RED FORT IN DELHI. OUR FREEDOM FIGHTERS BRAVELY FOUGHT SACRIFICES THEIR BLOOD AND LIVES ONLY TO FREE THE NATION FROM THE SHACKLES OF BRITISH RAJ. 

SOME OF THE GREATEST FREEDOM FIGHTERS OUR NATION HAS WITNESSED INCLUDE SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE, BHAGAT SINGH, MANGAL PANDEY, MAHATMA GANDHI, RANI LAKSHMI BAI, SAROJINI NAIDU, DR BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR AND CHANDRA SHEKHAR AZAD. DO YOU KNOW THE FULL FORM OF INDIA US "INDEPENDENT NATION DECLARED IN AUGUST" Dr BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR HAS GIVEN A NAME TO OUR COUNTRY.

            THERE IS ONE MORE FACT ABOUT INDIA WHICH IS KNOWN TO FEW PEOPLES. ON 14th AUGUST IN PALGHAR DISTRICT MARKS HUTATMA DIVAS (MARTYR'S DAY) TO PAY A TRIBUTE TO FIVE YOUNG FREEDOM FIGHTERS WHO WERE SHOT DEAD BY BRITISH ON THE PEAK OF QUIT INDIA MOVEMENT ON 14th AUGUST 1942.

              THE TALKS ABOUT OUR COUNTRY IS ENDLESS THIS DAY IS THE VICTORY OF OUR COUNTRY AND IT'S OUR FORTUNE TO BORN AS A INDIAN. FROM PASSED YEARS WE ALL ARE CELEBRATING THIS DAY WITH GREAT JOY BUT IN THIS YEAR i.e 2020 AS WE KNOW THAT THIS YEAR IS SO COMPLICATED DUE TO COVID 19  ITS BEEN 6 

MONTHS THERE IS A LOCKDOWN IN INDIA i.e 22nd MARCH 2020 AND ALSO IN MANY COUNTRIES. STILL WE ARE NOT FREE FROM THIS OBSTACLE OUR RESPECTED PRIME MINISTER SHRI.NARENDRA MODI IS PUTTING HIS ALL EFFORTS TO TAKE OUT OUR COUNTRY FROM THIS OBSTACLE. IT'S VERY SAD TO SEE THAT THIS YEAR WE WILL NOT CELEBRATE OUR 74th YEAR OF INDEPENDENCE. 

IT'S ALL ABOUT OUR SAFETY THE RESPECT AND A LOVE FOR OUR COUNTRY IT WILL REMAIN STILL FOR LIFETIME. IF OUR GOVERNMENT IS PUTTING SO MUCH EFFORTS FOR OUR SAFETY THAN AS A CITIZENS IT'S OUR DUTY TO FOLLOW THEM AND THEIR RULES. THIS YEAR LET'S GIVE THE TRIBUTE TO THE FIGHTERS THEY ARE DOCTOR'S, POLICE OFFICERS, CLEANERS ETC BY STAYING HOME BECAUSE THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT US MORE THAN THEMSELVES. AND SOON WE WILL ALSO GET FREEDOM FROM THIS PANDEMIC YEAR.

"STAY HOME, STAY SAFE"

"HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY"
