On the occasion of my country’s 61st birthday, I share with you some nice videos to celebrate the day.
# 1 Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s famous speech
# The Partition and Politics
# A newsreel announcing independence of India and Pakistan
# India’s Struggle for Independence – 1
# India’s Struggle for Independence – 2
# And my favorite India’s National Song (Original). For lyrics and translation see here.
A very Happy Independence Day to all Indians.

Technically India was born on Republic Day. 🙂

Great. Happy Independence Day!
Good collection 🙂 I guess these videos must be shown to our present politicians..! Thoda tho akal aye ga!
Anyways, Happy Independence Day to you as well 🙂
Happy Birthday ‘Independent’ India… 🙂
I’ve seen that news reel that announces the birth of India and Pakistan and it never ever fails to interest me. 🙂 I love history and love watching old videos that transport us back to olden days. After watching these videos, I feel that the old India was better than the new India in many ways…maybe it had something to do with the newly gained Independence.
Great blog btw! 🙂 I need to be a regular here. And thank you for having me on your blogroll.
Jai Hind and Happy Independence Day to you
Happy Independence Day to you.
Happy Independence Day to you too!! 😀
Thanks for sharing those videos.
happy independence day Reema!
Happy Independence Day to all !!!!
BTW : It was pointed in “Hazaaron Khwahishein Aisi” that in his speech Pt. Nehru made an error : He delivered the speech at midnight in India and he said that when the world is sleeping, we gain Independence. Well… half the world was awake at that time.
Just a thought 🙂
Thanks for these interesting videos. Happy Independence day to you too.
Lovely collection of videos! I remember that “Tryst with destiny” speech so well, and those particular lines especially. I would give the I-Day speech in school and quote those lines 🙂
Nice collection of videos. Bharath Maata ki JAI!!!
