Sulekha Independence Day Contest!

 

August 15, 1947 is the most important day in the history of India, the day when India got its Independence from the British rule. We Indians pay our tributes to our brave freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives and fought to free our motherland. The stroke of midnight brought with it a ray of hope and pride, as our first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru said, “The world was asleep but India awoke to life and freedom”. A new nation was born! Since then August 15 is celebrated as Independence Day in India every year.

 

Here’s what you can do to celebrate this Independence Day on Sulekha.com and cherish the essence of freedom

 

  • Dedicate a poem or article to your favorite National Leader.
  • What does Independence Day mean to you?
  • Share Your Independence Day Memories
  • Have you ever celebrated Independence Day outside of India? Tell us how the Indians diaspora celebrate their homeland’s Independence far away from home
  • If there is some senior citizen out there who has witnessed the proceedings on the actual date when India was declared free and in fact joined the celebrations, then you can feel free to share your experiences with us
  • Share photos of the parades and festivities that mark India’s Independence Day
  • Share your thoughts on the future of India

Eventually the Indian army helped us in our evacuation, along with hundreds other visitors to the Valley, in their planes returning to bring more battalions, when fighting was taking place only two miles from the airport. And thank God, we soon landed at Palam airport in Delhi for our belated celebration of India’s independence…. read more

 

Vande Mataram inspired twenty four soldiers of Bristish Indian Army stationed in Tamilnadu in 1940’s. And British arrested all twenty four on charges of mutiny and were sentenced to death. In Madras (now Chennai) Jail all twenty four went to gallows once again with Vande Mataram on their lips….read more

 

We stood wrapped in emotion. I am unable to express in words how I really felt at that moment. Twenty years back, on 15th August 1988, the very same number was introduced in Doordarshan, which was on the lips of every Indian, for years that followed…..read more

   

But that was our glorious past. The present and Future of our country is equally glorious. I know there will be a lot of skeptics thinking what is good with India. Hey that fact that we can complain and make a lot of noise about it in this democratic country itself is reason to celebrate…..read more

Our nation is with full of resources and intelligent people.But we could not develop up to the mark...why..? "The world was asleep but India awoke to life and freedom.And then the world awoke to life but India started sleeping" Each independence day is a call to get up from the sleep....Happy independence day to all Indians.

After a long journey that I have taken and after the days that I have counted came the day that I was expecting and it is the independence day of all the Indians. It is heart breaking for me to see People having to do the slavery of others and it doesn't matter in what nation or country this takes place. These are the most important people who could not see the sun in their life till they lived, and when dead could not see their hall of fame that was set up.
