India, the nation, on it's 66th Independence Day today, has turned a year older, wiser and holds much weight in the World. The day 15th August evokes a feeling of Indian-ness from within every living Indian. Although some may treat it just as another 'National holiday' others do stop and take pride when the Tricolour is unfurled and proudly proclaim— 'Jai Hind.'

Bollywood superstar, Amitabh Bachchan, wishes readers of Daily Bhaskar, and says, "A day of pride, honor and joy .. Pride for the reverence of our flag, for our Independence and in remembrance of those that sacrificed their lives so we could breathe and live in our freedom.."
