The long-awaited dream of an independent India came true at the stroke of midnight on August 14, 1947, when Pundit Nehru addressed the nation that was reborn after a struggle of almost 200 years. In his declaration of Independence, Nehru inspired the nation to take the solemn pledge of a spirited awakening. This year, India celebrates its 61st anniversary of independence. Even though many things have changed with the passage of time, the quintessential spirit of the country has remained very much the same. Despite its diversity of culture and religion, the nation has managed to hold on to its identity in the last 60 years. Acknowledge the undying spirit of independence by sending e-cards to your loved ones.
