Independence day brings out patriotism in everyone, as people remember the sacrifices of freedom fighters who laid their lives for country. It's also a day when people pledge to unite against all odds and fight the difficulties that come through in the way of being the second most populated country in the world.
We wish all the Indians around the world a very Happy Independence Day, and bring you some of the tweets posted by the Indian cricketing fraternity.
