Happy Independence Day

 INDEPENDENCE DAY 

We should feel proud for our motherland India. 

Needless to say that August 15 is celebrated as the Independence Day in Inia. Because it became independent on the 15th of August 1947. Many people fought for the freedom of our nation under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. 



Let's acknowledge the efforts and sacrifices of all our freedom fighters in making India free from the British rule. May all be at peace for ever.

A very happy Independence Day!

71st Republic Day, India ଭାରତୀୟ ଗଣତନ୍ତ୍ର ଦିବସ

                  71st Republic Day  As we know, India became free from British rule on 15th August, 1947. But its constitution came into effect from 26th January 1950.  It clearly declared India as a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic (as strictly against monarchy or dictatorship of any single person/ king/ dictator). After all, it's rule of the people,  by the people and for the people.  Hence, every year ,26th January is celebrated as the Republic Day of India, whereas Independence Day is celebrated on 15th August.  On Republic Day, flag hoisting ceremonies and parades by armed forces and school children are held in different parts of the country.  However,  the grand parade is held at Rajpath, New Delhi,  which showcases the country's rich cultural heritage and military prowess. This parade is presided over by the President of India, whereas, on the occ...

                                                           DEEPAVALI/DIWALI What, when and how? Do you know, what is a 'deep'? It means a 'diya' or an earthen lamp. 'Deepavali' is the plural form of 'deep' or it refers to a collection of 'deeps'/'diyas'/earthen lamps. On 'Amavasya' or no moon light, people of 'Ayodhya Nagari' celebrated the victory of Lord Ram over the demon king Ravana and welcomed Ram to their own city after 14 years' exile in the forest. People were so exited, that they lit lamps/diyas/deepavali (a collection of earthen lamps) and decorated them everywhere to remove darkness and spread light. There were no electricity at that time. So from this day onwards, 'Diwali' or 'Deepavali' is celebrated every year. India is known for its tremendous festivals and their celebrations with great fervor. Time has now ...
