India celebrates its 70th Independence Day on Monday, Aug. 15. Like every year, there will be lots of events across the nation to salute the freedom fighters and cherish their values. The biggest attraction of the day will easily remain the flag-hoisting ceremony at the Red Fort by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
