INDEPENDENCE DAY ESSAY 2019

( FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS )

Independence Day is the day when every citizen of India pay honour to their respected leaders and to all those freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of India in the past. It’s a great celebration day and during the entire period of Independence Day, major government buildings are decorated with the strings of lights along with the beautiful tricolour that wave from the rooftop of various homes and buildings of our country lovers.

Background

The effort for India’s Independence started in Meerut with the Sepoy Mutiny in 1857. Later on, the Indian National Congress and different political organizations launched the independence movement nationwide under the guidance of the great leader Mahatma Gandhi, in the 20th century. With a lot of struggle and after losing the lives of several freedom fighters and citizens of our country, colonial powers were finally aborted and independence was granted to India on August 15, 1947.

India thus became a free country and the first prime minister of Independent India Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru gave his popular “Tryst with Destiny” speech.

Symbols

In places like Delhi and various other cities, kite flying adds to the Independence Day celebration. The sky gets dotted with numerous kites flown from the rooftops and the fields symbolizing the freedom of India. The Red Fort of Delhi also holds great significance in relation to the Independence Day as the first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru unveiled the flag of India at this place on August 15, 1947. Our national flag is divided horizontally into three colours consisting saffron at the top, white in the middle and green at the bottom in same proportion. A navy-blue wheel is embedded in the centre called chakra with 24 spokes. It is influenced by the wheel appearing on the Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka.
