As India celebrates its 80th Independence Day, Vice President C P Rahdakrishnan has called upon to honour the legacy of freedom fighters and renew our commitment to building a Viksit Bharat @ 2047.

Writing an article in an English daily, the Vice President paid tribute to the countless known and unsung heroes of India’s freedom struggle, recalling their courage, sacrifice and unwavering commitment to the cause of freedom. He noted that freedom fighters, be they from Kashmir in the north or Tamil Nadu in the south; from Gujarat in the west or Assam in the east, people belonging to all regions, backgrounds, ages and genders came together with one common goal, the freedom of Mother Bharat.
