Watch how 73rd Independence Day of India became historic| Ghanti Bajao

With the revocation of special status for Jammu and Kashmir, Indians can now say with pride 'One Nation, One Constitution', Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday, and outlined the future path of his government for the next five years, stressing on population control, cutting down on plastic use, drinking water for all, creation of a Chief of Defence Staff post and thrust on infrastructure.
Addressing the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort, with a colourful safa tied round his head, Modi said that in his first term he brought the country back on track, and "it is moving fast". But his new mandate is to fulfill the dreams and aspirations of the people of a 21st century, of a country that can soar high. "In the next five years we will take the country forward, we are fulfilling the works one by one."
