#REAL HEROES

SEE WINNERS

Share with friends

Indian Independence day is an occasion to celebrate the present, acknowledge and respect the struggles of the past and safeguard the future!

As we look back to the oppression that our country had witnessed, reminisce the glorious battles of the past, pay tribute to the freedom fighters, remember the sacrifice of the patriots who led us to be independent, we can never forget what the struggle and the victory taught us - “No matter how dark the night is, morning always follows.”

While the contribution of freedom fighters is remembered and celebrated, we must not forget the efforts by other countrymen who carry forward the legacy and fight for the country on a day to day basis. In doing so, they have to stay away from their own families to ensure that we are safe and enjoying life. There are other bravehearts who have saved lives daily during COVID and many such extreme situations, in all these 75 Years. The ones who have displayed bravery without fearing their own lives. Besides, there are some, who value the emotions of people and have gone far and extreme to help others. All such people are like our guardian angels and stand tall like a HERO!

It’s time to celebrate them and what better occasion than India’s 75 Years of Independence!!! The occasion that celebrates bravery, selflessness, dedication, passion and love for the country and the community!!
