15 August Independence Day 2021

As India celebrates its 75th Independence Day, we have curated a list messages, quotes and wishes you can share with your friends and family

India will celebrate its 75th Independence Day on August 15. The country's struggle to achieve freedom from British rule was a hard-fought one and August 15 is the day that all of us proudly remember the sacrifices of the people who made it possible. On August 15, 1947, the first Prime Minister of free India, Jawaharlal Nehru hoisted the flag from Red Fort in Delhi. Every year since, the incumbent Prime Ministers of the country have been unfurling the tricolour from the ramparts of the iconic structure, followed by an official address to the nation. On Independence Day, we celebrate and recognise the efforts and sacrifices made by our great leaders and valiant freedom fighters who fought for our freedom.

This historic day is celebrated with several cultural programmes and flag-hoisting ceremonies across the country. Indians come together and revel in the feeling of patriotism as they sing the national anthem. To celebrate this day with much fervour and joy, we have curated a list of wishes and quotes for you to share with your near and dear ones.

1) “May the sun in his course visit no land more free, more happy, more lovely, than this our country!” — Sardar Bhagat Singh

2) “Freedom of mind is real freedom. A person whose mind is not free though he may not be in chains is a slave, not a free man. One whose mind is not free, though he may not be in prison, is a prisoner and not a free man. One whose mind is not free though alive is no better than dead. Freedom of mind is the proof of one's existence.” — BR Ambedkar

3) “Don't see others doing better than you beat your own records every day, because success is a fight between you and yourself.” — Chandra Shekhar Azad

4) “Citizenship consists in the service of the country.” — Jawaharlal Nehru

5) “Freedom is never dear at any price. It is the breath of life. What would a man not pay for living?” — Mahatma Gandhi
