Indian cricketers wish the country on 74th Independence Day

India gained freedom from British rule on August 15, 1947.

By Jatin Sharma - 15 Aug, 2020

Today on August 15, Saturday, 2020, the whole of India is celebrating the 74^th Independence day.

India gained its Independence from the British on August 15, 1947, after more than 200 years of occupation. It is an occasion of joy and pride. And on the other hand, it also reminds us that we are indebted to all those people who lost their lives to gain independence for us from the British.

This year’s Independence Day is a bit subdued due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic which has cost the country almost 50,000 lives so far. Therefore PM Narendra Modi hoisted the national flag at the Red Fort amidst limited personnel and the festivities were also somber.

Meanwhile the Indian cricket fraternity took to Twitter in order to wish the entire country on this proud occasion.

Here are some tweets:

Happy Independence Day ????????
Let's celebrate the freedom & salute our freedom fighters who are still fighting to protect us. Can't thank you enough for your patriotism & all the sacrifices you make. Prosperity, happiness and health to all!
सारे जहां से अच्छा हिंदुस्तान हमारा ????

अत्र जन्म सहस्राणां सहस्रैरपि सत्तम।
कदाचिल्लभते जन्तुर्मानुष्यं पुण्यसञ्चयात्॥

सैंकड़ों जन्मों के पश्चात् पुण्य जागने पर ही किसी को भारत की भूमि पर मनुष्य के रूप में जन्म मिलता है .
