August 15, 2016, marks 70 years of Indian independence. As we as a country go through a rather trying phase — politically, economically and socially, days such as this should come as a reminder of what our ancestors fought for, and gave up so that we could live in a free country.
Jawaharlal Nehru’s speech signifying India’s ‘Tryst with Destiny’ in 1947 — which has even been commemorated in today’s Google doodle — marked the culmination of almost a century of India’s fight for independence; now, we Indians are fighting a different fight — one that is even more challenging because its basis is an ideological one, and it’s among ourselves.
But sometimes, on days and occasions such as this, a lot is forgotten and the whole nation comes together to celebrate India. On this occasion, and since it is the digital age, we bring to you a collection of patriotic SMSes, WhatsApp and Facebookmessages and greetings to share with your near and dear ones.
