Moments of Pride
Indian Independence Day is celebrated annually on 15 August as a national holiday in India commemorating the nation's independence from the United Kingdom on 15 August 1947. On this day, the provisions of the 1947 Indian Independence Act, which transferred legislative sovereignty to the Indian Constituent Assembly, came into effect. The struggle for freedom was a long and arduous one, marked by the sacrifices of countless freedom fighters who envisioned a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic.
"Freedom is not given, it is taken."
"A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble."
