Question

We fought a long, hard struggle to gain independence from the british rule. What will be your contribution to make India proud ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

We asked our readers why they were proud to be Indians. We were flooded with replies. The reasons were myriad but they had one thread in common —they loved their country and all that it represented. Due to lack of space we have not been able to publish all the letters. We feature a few from different parts of the country.

On August 15, 1947, India woke up to freedom. Decades later we continue to celebrate this day when we became a free and sovereign nation. With great leaders like Gandhiji in the forefront, India won Independence through peaceful means. This day is a national holiday and the Prime Minister hoists the national flag at the Red Fort, followed by a speech which is broadcast nationally from its ramparts.
