India is celebrating 75 years of independence today with Prime Minister Narendra Modi leading the celebrations. He unfurled the national flag and addressed the nation from the ramparts of the famous Red Fort.
That year, the central government promoted the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign with the aim of making the country’s people’s relationship with the national flag more personal, rather than just holding it formally or institutionally. Several ‘tiranga yatras’ have also been eliminated by ministers and BJP leaders across the country.
Kaushiki Chakraborty, Shreya Ghosal, Mahesh Kale, Amaan Ali Bangash, Aayan Ali Bangash, Tetseo Sisters, Amrit Ramnath, Omkar Dhumal, Ambi Subramaniam and Rhythm Shaw also lent their voices to the song “Jaya Hey 2.0”.
