The Daily Guardian
|August 15, 2024
Every year on August 15th, as India celebrates its Independence Day, the skies over Delhi come alive with a vibrant display of colorful kites.
-
The tradition of kite flying on Independence Day has become a symbolic representation of the nation's freedom and unity, with the city's rooftops turning into a lively battlefield of skill, competition, and joy.
The roots of kite flying in India can be traced back centuries, but it gained particular prominence during the fight for independence. In those days, kites were used as a medium of protest, with freedom fighters sending messages of resistance to the British Raj. Over time, the activity evolved from a form of rebellion to a beloved tradition that brings together people from all walks of life.
