Here's a history blurb for you: Today is India's independence day!!The state of India formally gained independence on August 15, 1947 after centuries of British rule.Independence Day is an occasion to rejoice in their freedom and to pay collective homage to all those people who sacrificed their lives to the cause. But it is more than that. It also marks the coming together of more than 400 princely states into one nation - India.
“Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny and now
the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge... At the stroke of the midnight
hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom.”
Jawaharlal Nehru
So i was planning on giving you some pictures of festivities here in Nimda* for independence day...however we found out that everything closes down and they had a program this morning and we missed it. since when does anything happen before 11 am around here? i mean really?
