On Independence, people across the country come together to salute and honour the freedom fighters who fought for India's independence from the British Raj. This day serves as a timely reminder of the freedom struggle and the many lives which were sacrificed in pursuit of it. The words of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, when he said, "At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom," perfectly summarise the struggle and the consequent joy one felt on Independence Day.
