As India celebrates its 76th Independence Day Monday, the national flag could be seen flying at homes and other residential complexes all over the country.
Industrialist Anand Mahindra, who often posts interesting and inspiring content on Twitter, shared a heart-warming photograph of an elderly couple unfurling the tricolour and it would surely make you feel proud.
The photo shows an elderly woman standing on top of a metal container as she is hoisting the tricolour on a pole. A man is seen standing and holding the container. “If you ever were wondering why such a fuss over Independence Day, just ask these two people. They will explain it better than any lecture can. Jai Hind,” tweeted Mahindra.

The BJP government has launched the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign to mark 75 years of Independence as part of ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’. With this initiative, the Modi government is aiming to have at least 20 crore flags atop houses from August 13 to August 15.
