Travel with Gozo and enjoy this Independence Day. Here we bring to you some of the best places to give you the patriotic feel. Salute our freedom fighters and embrace patriotism by travelling with us to the following places –
DELHI
Red Fort – Our first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, gave the first Independence Day speech in 1947 at the Red Fort. This great monument has been an integral part of the freedom struggle. It continues to be a symbol of the struggle as the Prime Minister still delivers the Independence Day speech from the ramparts of this grand fort on August 15 every year. Attend the Sound and Light show at the Red Fort as it takes you through the history of the fort.
Raj Ghat – A visit to Raj Ghat to pay reverence to the Father of Our Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, brings back all the stories we have heard as a kid about this great leader and what all he did to give us our precious Independence.
Gandhi Smriti – Gandhi Smriti was the place where Gandhi ji was shot on 30th of January. Gandhi ji’s personal belongings have been carefully preserved and are on display.
MUMBAI
August Kranti Maidan – Gandhi issued a call for the Quit India Movement on 8th August 1942 at the famous August Kranti Maidan in Mumbai. Originally known as the Gowalia Tank Maidan, this park is now a popular playground, divided into five parts, with separate special areas designated for children and senior citizens. A memorial in the park stands testimony to its historic past.
