Indian Independence Day Wishes Wallpaper Greetings
Wish You All a Happy Independence Day Greeting.
On 15 August 1947, India attained freedom from the British Rule.
Every year, August 15 is celebrated as the Independence Day in India.
This national festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm all over the
country.
The Independence Day of any country is a moment of pride and
glory. On this special occasion, rich tributes are paid to the freedom
fighters who sacrificed their lives and fought to free their motherland
from the clutches of the oppressors – British who ruled the country.
“Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time
comes when we will redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but
very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world
sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which
comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new,
when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds
utterance…. We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again.”
- Jawaharlal Nehru
(Speech on Indian Independence Day, 1947)
