Independence Day: India’s 79th Independence Day Marked by Spectacular Aerial Tribute | ABP NEWS

The 79th Independence Day celebrations in India showcased immense patriotism and unity as the national flag fluttered proudly at the Red Fort. Adding a spectacular touch to this year’s event, two Indian Air Force MI-17 helicopters flew over the historic venue, dropping flowers in a symbolic tribute to the nation’s spirit. The helicopters also carried the national flag, further highlighting the significance of the day. Among the dignitaries present was Flying Officer Rushika Sharma, representing the bravery and dedication of India’s women in the armed forces. During Operation Sindoor, India’s daughters played a crucial role in exposing and countering Pakistan’s hostile actions, a point emphasized in recent public addresses. The celebrations were a testament to India’s rich cultural diversity, with the backdrop of Chandni Chowk reflecting the harmony between various religions. Within a short distance, one could witness a mosque, a temple, a gurudwara, a church, and even a Jain temple, all coexisting peacefully — symbolizing the Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb, India’s syncretic cultural heritage. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepared to address the nation, the nation felt a deep sense of pride and unity, reaffirming the values of independence and communal harmony.
