Independence Day of India
August 15, commemorates the day in 1947, India's biggest secular celebration, on the anniversary of her Independence from British in 1947.
It is celebrated all over the country with Meetings & flag-hosting ceremonies. August 15th is the day on which India gained independence after nearly 200 years of British rule.
A famous poem
"Where the mind is without fear
And the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been
Broken up into fragments by
Narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out
The depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches
Its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason
Has not lost its way into the dreary
Desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is lead forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action-
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,
Let my country awake."

I like this poem very much, it is translated in to many languages. In Telugu also it is nice to sing -chitta mekada bhaya soonyamo... sheeshamekada uttungamo..
