Painful Memories of Partition are Related to This Day
On this day, people express their respect and love for their country in this way. They hoist the national flag, wear colors depicting the tricolor and participate in many sports and cultural events. There are also painful memories of the partition of the country from this day, when India was separated on communal grounds. On 15 August 1947, when the first Prime Minister of independent India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, hoisted the national flag at the Lahori Gate of the Red Fort in New Delhi, then Father of the Nation Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi fasted in Calcutta (now Kolkata).
It is believed that he spent his time praying, fasting and silently opposing the communal hatred of the country. Thirty-three years later, this day has come to be recognized as a national pride and honor. It has been a tradition since the first Prime Minister to hoist the tricolor and his subsequent Prime Ministers hoisted the flag from the Red Fort every year and addressed the nation.
This will be The True Feeling for the Country
Independence Day is one of the three national holidays to be given in the country. One of these is Republic Day and one is the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. These days it is a holiday. The President of the country addresses the country a day before Independence Day, that is, on its eve. Cultural events, competitions, flag hoisting ceremonies and parades are usually held on this day as a celebration of independence. However, many restrictions are already in place this year due to the corona epidemic. Therefore, it is advised that people should stay in their homes and express their patriotic spirit. Also take care of all social distance and maintain safety guidelines. Actually, this will be the true spirit of Independence Day 2020.
