On August 15, 2011 India celebrated it’s 64th Independence day. This day freedom loving people of India remember tremendous sacrifices of great freedom fighters who gave up their lives to liberate India from Colonial/British rule. The common man also feels proud of the bravery and sacrifices of countless faceless Indian soldiers who continue to guard the nation’s borders vigilantly in the face of numerous challenges: toughest terrains, extreme weather, enemy designs, misguided youth and brainwashed terrorists.
The day began with Prime Minister ( Indian) Manmohan Singh hoisting the tricolor and addressing the nation from Red Fort. All through all across the day, there were official parades/celebrations to mark the event. People on the streets flew kites, distributed sweets to one another and took part in festivities: cultural events, family gatherings.
