15 August is our Independence Day. It is red letter day for Indians. On this day we won our freedom from foreign rule. It came after a long and hard struggle. We made many great sacrifices win our freedom. Our national flag was unfurled on the ramparts of the Red Fort the first time on 15th August it was hoisted by our beloved Chacha Nehru. This day is celebrat throughout the country. But the main function is held the Red Fort in Delhi where the Prime Minister hoists the National Flag. Celebrations are also held in the state capitals. The Governor or Chief Minister unfurls the tricolour and takes salute. The National Anthem also sung. The Red Fort ceremony is marked a guar of honour presented to the Prime Minister and a salute of 21 guns. The military bands play our national song. Then there is an important speech by the Prime Minister. In schools also the tricolour is hoisted on this day. Some important leader or the principal then addresses the gathering.
When we study human language, we are approaching what some might call the "human essence," the distinctive qualities of mind that are, so far as we know, unique to man.NOAM CHOMSKY
