HAPPY 65TH INDEPENDENCE DAY
To all my Friends and Country men, Senior citizens, Brothers, Sisters and Loving Childrens living in India and Abrod, and also all my all viewers of world.
The
struggle for India's Independence began in 1857 with the Sepoy Mutiny in
Meerut. Later, in the 20th century, the Indian National Congress and other
political organizations, under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, launched a
countrywide independence movement. Colonial powers were transferred to India on August 15, 1947.
The Constituent Assembly, to who power was to
be transferred, met to celebrate India's independence at 11pm on August 14,
1947. India gained its liberty and became a free country at midnight between
August 14 and August 15, 1947. It was then that the free India's first prime
minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru gave his famous "Tryst with Destiny"
speech. People across India are reminded of the meaning of this event - that it
marked the start of a new era of deliverance from the British colonialism that
took place in India for more than 200 years.
The
sport of kite flying symbolizes Independence Day. The skies are dotted with
countless kites flown from rooftops and fields to symbolize India's free spirit
of India. Kites of various styles, sizes and shades, including the tricolor are
available in the marketplaces. The Red Fort in Dehli is also an important
Independence Day symbol in India as it is where Indian Prime Minister Jawahar
Lal Nehru unveiled India's flag on August 15, 1947.
India's
national flag is a horizontal tricolor of deep saffron (kesaria) at the top, white in
the middle and dark green at the bottom in equal proportion. The ratio of the
flag's width to its length is two to three. A navy-blue wheel in the center of
the white band represents the chakra. Its design is that of the wheel which
appears on the abacus of the Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka. Its diameter approximates to the white
band's width and it has 24 spokes.
