Hindustan Times
|August 16, 2023
Chandrashobha Kumari and her family woke up at 3am on Tuesday, well before they usually do. Kumari, her husband and two children were getting ready to head to the Independence Day celebrations at Red Fort. She had waited to watch the event in person for years.
"I've been watching the programme on television since I was a child, so I'm thrilled to be here and I'm glad my children are part of it too," she said.
Waves of people wearing saffron, white and green - peppered with the occasional bluepoured into Red Fort and took their seats, ready for the spectacle to unfold. Around 6.20am, the crowd fell silent as the National Cadet Corps choir sang patriotic songs.
