"India is the world's second most populous country, and many of its 1.3 billion citizens will join in the Independence Day festivities. While the subcontinent marks the occasion in various ways - from patriotic kite-flying to Amritsar's "beating retreat" ceremony - no site is more historically significant than Lahori Gate at the Red Fort in Delhi, where then Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru first addressed the newly independent nation. India's flag will be seen flying proudly today from Delhi to Bombay and everywhere in between. As the flag is raised each year, a 21-gun salute rings out, accompanied by the national anthem "Jana Gana Mana." Parades, awards, and cultural events complete the momentous occasion." (sic)
