The Prime Minister leads the nation in celebrating the event at Delhi's Red Fort every year. Independence Day is a national holiday marked by a feeling of patriotic fervour in the air. It is a day which Indians celebrate by flying kites and playing patriotic songs.
One day before Independence Day 2020, businessman Anand Mahindra took to Twitter to share a video which shows a young boy singing the national anthem. Mr Mahindra revealed that he watches the video before every Independence Day to get his "josh" up for the occasion.
"I saw this first a year or more ago. I've stored it and I watch it every year to get my josh up before Independence Day," wrote the Chairman of Mahindra Group. "It moves me as much as the best rendition of our anthem by the most accomplished musicians. His innocence & concentration gets me every time," he added.
