President Droupadi Murmu addressed the nation on the eve of Independence Day on August 14 and emphasised the need to strengthen affirmative action as a tool for inclusion while urging the rejection of divisive tendencies rooted in perceived social hierarchies. She also said that India’s successful conduct of elections strengthens democratic forces around the world.  

Alongside, Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi has recalled the sufferings of people impacted by India’s partition and reiterated the commitment to always protecting the bonds of unity and brotherhood in the nation on August 14, 2024.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah paid tributes to all those who suffered during India’s partition in 1947, saying a nation that remembers its history can build its future and emerge as a powerful country.  

As it is, India is one of the last beacons of democratic hope among the nations of the Global South. Despite the rise of global pessimism towards liberal democracies, the re-emergence of anti-democratic forces in South Asia, and India’s own ongoing confrontation with polarisation, the Indian experiment with democracy that began this day 78 years ago boldly sustains, writes Kamal Haasan.  

Against opinions of the President Murmu, PM Modi and super Actor Kamal Hassan,JharkhandStateNews.com wishes all citizens Happy Independence Day 2024 with a note that the performance of the State during the past 78 years has shown that democracy is thriving and sustainable in India. Be proud to protect and promote it. Jai Hind!
