While I appreciate the celebrations, I wish more focus was given to women freedom fighters in these events. Our history books and ceremonies often overlook their contributions.

As someone visiting from abroad, I'm impressed by Rajasthan's cultural programs during Independence Day. The Mehrangarh Fort setting must be spectacular for the reception!

Har Ghar Tiranga campaign is beautiful, but government should ensure flags are disposed respectfully after 15th. Last year I saw many tricolors lying in garbage 😔

Partition Horrors Remembrance Day is important. We must never forget the pain our ancestors went through. More schools should organize special programs on this.
