Independence day 2020 celebration in Corona pandemic.
On August 15, 2020, is 73 years of freedom. India became an
Independent nation in 15th August 1947, India completed one year of independence
on 15th August 1948, In 2020 15th August, India completed 73 years as an Independent,
if we exclude 1947 and start count from 1948 then this year 202o is 73 years of
Independent day nation celebrating.
However including 15th August 1947 if we calculate then it 74 years we are celebrating Independence day in 2020. So, this year marked the 74th Independence Day of the country.
While it is a celebratory annual
occasion and a national holiday, wherein people hoist the national flag, wear
colors signifying the tricolor, take part in many games and cultural
programs, it also coincides with the Partition of the country that brings
back painful memories, given that India was severed on communal grounds, much
to the disappointment of many national leaders and ordinary citizens.
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was and will always remain one of the brightest shining stars of India's independence movement. We can not forget him and especially as a Bengali I can say Netaji is in our blood.
When Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Nehru advocated for peaceful means of protests, Bose, commonly known as Netaji took steps out in his own and went ahead with an aggressive push for free India, even setting up a government in exile.
On 29th December 1943, Netaji accompanied by Sarvashri Anand Mohan Sahay, Captain Rawat - ADC, and Col. DS Raju, the personal physician of Netaji landed at the Port Blair aerodrome in the Andamans.
On 15 August 1947, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, hoisted the national flag at the Lahori Gate of Red Fort in New Delhi. The Father of the Nation Gandhiji fasted in Calcutta (now Kolkata). He believed to spent his time praying, fasting, and silently protesting the religious hatred that had taken over the country.
This day we usually spotted with cultural programs, competitions, flag-hoisting ceremonies, and parades, etc. Because of the Coronavirus pandemic, restrictions already in place to avoid the mass gathering. So, it’s better we should observe the day and celebration in loyalty from the safety of your house, we should maintain all social distancing and maintain safety guidelines, and keep protected from COVID-19 infection spread and also help your community. That would be the true spirit of independence day 2020.
