India Flag |
India was under the British Rule for over three hundred
years. Right from 1857, the efforts were being made to liberate the country
from the foreign yoke. Many patriots sacrificed their lives for the sake of
freedom. Hundreds and thousands of people died for that great cause, and at last,
under the able leadership of Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India became
free on 15th august 1947. Thus, 15th august is our
independence day and we celebrated the day with great jubilation's every year,
all over the country. It is a public holiday.
On 15th august, 2013 we have complete sixty six
years of our independence. So in the year 2007 we celebrated as the Diamond
jubilee year of independence. The national government has announced the year as
a diamond jubilee year. Our school also celebrated the Independence Day with great
enthusiasm.
We all met on the school ground at 7.30 a.m. The principal,
after unfurling the tricolor, explained to us the spirit of the Independence
Day. He gave us a brief account of the freedom struggle and showed us the
necessity of guarding the liberty. He also told us the plan of celebrating the
year by holding different programmes in the memory of the struggle for freedom.
The science faculty students had arranged an exhibition
where in different scientific achievements were displays. We have planned to
arrange different competitions, such as sports, education quiz and easy writing,
all through the year, just to keep up the spirit of our independence.
This year we, the people of India, have solemnly pledged to
guard our independence at any cost.
