India attained independence from the foreign yoke on 15th August 1947. The dream which the nation had over 200 years, was finally realized. But the glorious moment was accompanied by pain and sorrow. India was partitioned into two separate nations, India and Pakistan. Jawaharlal Nehru in his celebrated speech of the Indian nation espoused "Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we will redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance ... we end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again." The nation witnessed a new dawn. The sovereign state was the outcome of the valiant efforts of several martyrs, freedom fighters and national leaders. On this day the prime-minister Jawaharlal Nehru hoisted the Indian national flag at the majestic Red fort. Today this glorious is celebrated with much pomp and splendor commemorating the great sacrifices of our freedom fighters. Independence Day in Delhi is a grand occasion, sharing the patriotic fervor between all the people.
