Independence Day Celebrations 2019
INDEPENDENCE DAY 2019
Date: 15th August 2019
The Independence Day of India, which is celebrated religiously throughout the Country on the 15th of August every year, holds tremendous ground in the list of national days, since it reminds every Indian, about the dawn of a new beginning. The beginning of an era of deliverance from the clutches of British colonialism of more than 200 years. It was on 15th August 1947 that India was declared independent from British colonialism, and the reins of control were handed over to the leaders of the Country. India gaining independence was a tryst with destiny, as the struggle for freedom was a long and tiresome one, witnessing the sacrifices of many freedom fighters, who laid down their lives on the line. The first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru unfurled the Tricolor National Flag at the Red Fort in New Delhi for the first time on this historic day.
On each subsequent Independence Day, the incumbent Prime Minister customarily raises the flag and gives an address to the nation. People from all walks of life, all religions, culture and tradition gather for this event and commemorate contributions of all the great people who were responsible for an Independent India.
Since IBA is like a Mini-India or Indiapura, having students from almost all parts of the country, the Independence Day celebration gets even more enthralling. This year, Retired Major Bhargava R D, Veteran, Indian Army, was the Chief Guest of the event and he gave a beautiful speech that not only marked the importance of Independence but also contributing to the nation. He reiterated that contribution to the nation isn’t just done by the armed forces or civil servants but by every citizen. Following his adrenaline pumping speech, students gave various Dance/Vocal performances which entertained as well as denoted the true spirit of Independence day.
Towards the end, the audience was also thrilled with speeches from Professors who inspired students to contribute to the nation with their professional success. The event truly celebrated our Unity in Diversity with March-past by all the Clubs and Committees of IBA and came to an end with everyone reciting the National Anthem.
