Jai Hind! Today we celebrate our 70th Independence Day and as Prime Minister Modi unfurls our national flag at the Red Fort, the onus is on us to convert this ‘Swaraj’ into ‘Surajya. Yes, we have come a long way and we have to go a long way ahead. From safety for women to fighting corruption, there is lot to be done. But, have you forgotten how we started, what we achieved? Let's take a moment to see the sacrificies made, the achievements we got and salute our country.
Yes, this was our first Indpeendence Day celebrations, 1947 at Rashtrapati Bhavan. The nostalgic moment with the sense of freedom is evident till date in this picture.
