Exactly 60 years ago on August 15, 1947, in the midnight India gained independence. Wishing for a better India in coming years and beyond. Happy Birthday India. Jai Hind, Jai BHARAT.

I really don't see a point in celebrating this. Sure it marks our freedom from the British but it also marks the division of our Bharat Mata.

I have more than one reason to celebrate it. All Indians should celebrate it because it signifies freedom, prosperity, truth and justice. Partition was very unfortunate. But we can't just think about it in every independence day and cry over it. Don't be a pessimist. We should rather look towards good sides of it.

That's the same month and day as the Korean Independence Day. (August 15, 1945)

I live in South Korea.
Over here, people take the day off. They hang their flags by their window or door. During the night, there are fire works. In the city hall area, they have a live performance. I might go there and take pictures.
