India is marking 75 years of Independence today, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi leading the celebrations. He unfurled the national flag and addressed the nation from the ramparts of the iconic Red Fort.
This year, the central government promoted the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign with the aim to make the relationship of the country's people with the national flag a more personal one rather than just keeping it formal or institutional. Several "Tiranga Yatras" were also taken out across the country by ministers and BJP leaders.
Kaushiki Chakraborty, Shreya Ghosal, Mahesh Kale, Amaan Ali Bangash, Aayan Ali Bangash, Tetseo Sisters, Amrit Ramnath, Omkar Dhumal, Ambi Subramaniam and Rhythm Shaw have also lent their voices to the 'Jaya Hey 2.0' song.
