Independence Day holds special significance in all our hearts. Not only does August 15 mark the day India gained independence from 200-year-old colonial rule, but Independence Day also serves as a reminder of all the virtues, pride, colourful history, cultural richness, diversity and landscapes which we must all feel proud to call our homeland. It's also the day when we commemorate and pay homage to the courageous sacrifices of our freedom fighters, who fought hard with a worthy patriotic spirit to get their home free of British oppression. It's also the day that marks the anniversary of undivided India's separation into two nations- India and Pakistan.
The day not only holds national importance, but India's freedom struggle, courage and valour shown by our resilient patriots and freedom fighters is something that inspired people across the globe back then and still resonates in people's hearts. The message of non-violence, particularly, is something that is still remembered by people worldwide. Who could forget the spirited march for freedom led by great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Rani Lakshmi Bai, Bhagat Singh, Subhas Chandra Bose? Most importantly, it was not just an independence march won through wars, but through the hard work and determination put by millions of Indians, no matter how small or big their individual contribution was.
As India enters its 75th year of independence, it's very important that we continue to cherish and practise the same ideals and values our great countrymen held dear during their struggle to build an independent India. While the celebrations are marked by the beautiful unfurling of our tricoloured flag, hoisting of kites, enthusiastic patriotic spirits, and an address to the nation given by our Prime Minister, and other state chief ministers as well. Many patriotic events are held across the country and people of all ages participate. While the pandemic may have dampened the spirit of the national holiday, there's no reason to miss out on the significance and celebrations. From virtual celebrations to greeting one another, here are some patriotic wishes, messages and quotes to celebrate the day in its full fervour. These are perfect to share Indian Independence Day messages for family, friends and loved ones are perfect to share on Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram.
