After 1947, India has faced many problems like refugee problems, internal security, external security, unemployment, drought and famines. There were many martyrs like Mangal Pandey, Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azaad, who gave up their lives for the freedom of the country. Britishers adopted many things related to cultural heritage from our country.
We celebrate Independence Day in the memory of those martyrs. Also India was divided into two different countries – Pakistan & India and there was a lot of infighting and communal disharmony. This day reminds us of the importance of unity - unity which provides us with strength to achieve anything. If each one of us works hard for the development of our country, only then will we truly understand the meaning and importance of independence. If everybody supports India in his own little way, our country will surely rise to greater heights. The day will not be far away when once again the status of the ‘Golden Bird’ (as India was referred to in ancient times) will be restored and our country will become the ‘Golden Bird’ of the whole world.
