Independence day

By Abhilasha Sharma, (V)
John Martyn Memorial School

Independence is the right of every citizen of India. When our country was ruled by the Britishers, we did not have our own flag or our own constitution. We won our independence in 1947 and celebrate the day on 15th August every year. Our National Flag, the ‘tiranga’, is hoisted at the Red Fort and the Prime Minister gives a talk to the nation. Our first Prime Minister was Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru.
We hoist the flag at our school too and sing the national anthem. Every body takes a pledge to serve the country honestly and sincerely.
