The Sixty Six Years Of Independence




  
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.
