Happy 75th Independence Day to India! (Economic Times)

I am a second generation Tibetan born and educated in India, raised with a deep sense of connection to an imagined Tibet, on the memories of my parents and ...

Today, Tibetans are a flourishing community in India with the freedom to sustain their culture, identity and political voice, largely due to the magnanimity of India and its people. In the same year of escape to India in 1959, the Tibetans were able to set up a government in exile. Since 1959, the Indian government and the various state governments have supported Tibetans in every possible way to not only survive but thrive as a community. I would like to think of myself as a Tibetan Indian, as I feel Indian, as much as a Tibetan. In fact Tibetans born in India would share the same feeling. During his first interaction with HH the Dalai Lama, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime Minister of India, stressed on making education a priority and mentioned that the future of the Tibetans in India depended on the quality of education given to them. Following the Chinese crackdown of March 10, Tibetan National Uprising in 1959, thousands of Tibetans fled the Chinese occupation of Tibet and joined their revered leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama in exile.

Speaking about the preparations for the event, BBMP Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinathsaid that of the 8,000 invitations, 6,200 have already been distributed. This fact that would likely not have been possible were it not for the sacrifice of tens of thousands of gallant Indians who unconditionally laid down their lives to drive the British Raj away from the country. The first-of-its-kind temple at Pedda Kaparthy village near Chityal town in the district has been drawing attention from even far off places, says PV Krishna Rao, Secretary of the Mahatma Gandhi Charitable Trust which maintains the shrine. Taking to Twitter, Rajinikanth both posted a video and a post, which urged people to fly the National flag outside their homes and offices as a mark of respect to freedom fighters and as an expression of unity. For many people around Chityal town in Telangana, about 75 KM from Hyderabad, visiting the Mahatma Gandhi Temple is becoming a sentiment. Posters with pictures of different freedom fighters have been put up by the party. Even as the country gears up to celebrate its 75th Independence Day on Monday, actor Rajinikanth has urged people to honour and salute freedom fighters, martyrs and leaders by having their children hoist the national flag outside their homes, offices and work places. A poster featuring Tipu Sultan put up by Karnataka Cong ahead of I-Day at Hudson Circle vandalised by miscreants last night. As a mark of respect, and as an expression of our unity, for all the lakhs of people who suffered untold struggles and miseries, pain and humiliation, for all those many thousands of people who scarified their lives selflessly for this freedom, for all those freedom fighters, martyrs and leaders -- let us honour and salute them with gratitude beyond caste, religion and politics." These freedom fighters not only challenged imperialism and colonialism but also the social norms of the era, which severely restricted their agency. "The government's decision to observe November 15 every November as 'Tribal Pride Day' since last year is welcome. The government started a 75-week countdown from March 12, 2021, celebrating ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ to mark this day.

To commemorate India's 75th anniversary of independence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hoist the national flag at the Red Fort's ramparts on August 15.

As the nation's first citizen and constitutional head of state, the President of India "unfurls" the Tricolor on Republic Day. Since the coloniser could not be trusted to raise the flag of a newly independent country, the task fell to the prime minister, who was designated as the official representative of the Indian people.

"It's true that he was helping the underground police station". Nanik Motwane also helped run a clandestine radio station that broadcast messages from Gandhi and other leaders to counter the imperial propaganda of the state-run broadcaster. Chicago Radio was a curious name for a firm based in Bombay (now Mumbai), where the Motwanes had migrated to in 1919. Nanik Motwane was picked up for allegedly helping the station with equipment and technical assistance.

India marks historic 75th Independence Day anniversary (FRANCE 24)

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the country must become a developed nation in a speech Monday marking the 75th anniversary of India's independence.

Countries such as the US already see India as a future challenger to China's dominating influence in Asia and beyond. “There were special functions in Parliament’s historic Central Hall to mark the 25th, 50th and 60th anniversary of India’s independence,” said Jairam Ramesh, an India National Congress party spokesperson. Seventy-five years on, India is a vastly changed country. In his speech on Monday, Modi said the world's view of India was changing and it was looking toward the country to help resolve global issues. "We must turn India into a developed country in the next 25 years, in our lifetime," said the 71-year-old Modi, wearing a turban in the colours of the Indian flag, in his 75-minute-speech in Hindi. Modi said millions of people across the country were commemorating the 75th anniversary of independence by hoisting national flags at their homes and businesses for three days as part of a government campaign “of awakening the spirit of patriotism in every heart.”
