August 15, 1947...the day India gained her independence. Today was a holiday off from school in celebration of independence day. This morning started with a parade and flag raising ceremony. All the students from the matriculation school as well as the college marched around the soccer field in uniform. They also sang the national anthem, pledged to the flag, sang another song about India, and the president of the college gave a short speech.
This was only the beginning of a day of celebration. Tomorrow I'll share more about the rest of the day.
