Independence Day 2025: Special Beating Retreat Ceremony At Attari-Wagah Border Draws Huge Crowd
As India celebrates its 79th Independence Day today on August 15, 2025, the patriotic fervor will extend beyond Delhi to the Attari-Wagah border, where a special Beating Retreat Ceremony is set to take place. The event, held every evening, takes on added significance on Independence Day, attracting thousands of spectators to witness the vibrant display of discipline, pride, and tradition. The celebrations began in Delhi, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi unfurled the National Flag and addressed the nation from the Red Fort. Meanwhile, in Punjab, preparations are in full swing for the evening's ceremony at the Attari-Wagah border, just 30 km from Amritsar. Though the lowering of the flag ceremony is a daily ritual between India and Pakistan, the Independence Day edition is especially charged with emotion. The event lasts for about an hour and begins with an energetic parade by the soldiers of the Border Security Force (BSF) from India and the Pakistani Rangers. In the evening, the iron gates between the two nations are opened, the national flags are lowered simultaneously, folded with respect, and handed over to the respective forces. In a symbolic gesture of peace, soldiers from both sides shake hands before the gates close. The ceremony concludes with colourful lights illuminating the border, as the crowd erupts in cheers and applause. This ceremonial tradition, which started in 1959 as a mark of cooperation between India and Pakistan, has been a major tourist attraction since then. On Independence Day, the number of visitors are more, with people arriving from across the country to experience the Patriotic atmosphere. For those unable to attend in person, the ceremony is broadcasted live on television channels and streamed on official YouTube platforms, allowing audiences across India and abroad to join in the celebration virtually. With the combination of military precision, national pride, and the spirit of unity, the Independence Day Beating Retreat at Attari-Wagah stands as a powerful reminder of India's journey over the past 79 years and the unwavering spirit of its people.

Dhruv Rathee does a Mark Zuckerberg, rides surfboard minus the beer on Independence Day
Dhruv Rathee has shared a video that shows him riding a surfboard with the Indian tricolour in hand. The video was shared online on India's 79th Independence Day, with Rathee channeling his inner Mark Zuckerberg for the occasion. Dhruv Rathee went wakesurfing on the occasion of India's 79th Independence Day (Instagram/@dhruvrathee) For the unaware, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg marked the American Independence Day last year with a video that showed him wakesurfing while wearing a tuxedo and holding the US flag. The billionaire casually sipped a beer as he rode the waves. Rathee replaced the tuxedo with a traditional Indian kurta-pyjama. The star-spangled banner became the Indian national flag. The beer was omitted completely. And then, like Zuckerberg, he rode the waves. Zuckerberg's wakesurfing is on its way to becoming something of a 4th of July tradition. This year, too, he wore an inflatable suit on July 4 as he went wakesurfing. Before that in 2021, he rode the surfboard in slippers, holding the US flag, with a scenic view in the background. Dhruv Rathee's message Through the caption accompanying the video, Rathee sought to draw attention to the Opposition's 'vote chori' charge against the ruling government. 'Happy Independence Day! We must protect the freedom and democracy that our freedom fighters fought so hard for. Speak up against Vote Chori! Speak up for the Nation! Jai Hind!' he wrote. Congress's vote chori charge On August 7, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi at a press conference claimed that the 2024 Lok Sabha elections were "choreographed" by the EC to benefit the BJP, which he said appeared "immune to anti-incumbency." The Congress and INDIA bloc launched a wave of protests and campaigns across the country. Rahul Gandhi, along with several opposition leaders, was detained on August 11 during a march to the EC office in Delhi, while Congress leaders in states like Karnataka, Telangana, and Chandigarh lodged complaints, staged marches, and condemned the detentions. The party rolled out a nationwide 'vote chori' campaign, including signature drives, torchlight marches, and rallies, with the Indian Youth Congress protesting outside the EC's Delhi office.

Akal Takht summons GNDU VC over remarks in presence of RSS chief, seeks clarification in 15 days
1 2 Amritsar: Akal Takht officiating jathedar Giani Kuldip Singh Gargaj has summoned Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU) vice-chancellor Dr Karamjit Singh and asked him to submit a clarification within 15 days regarding the alleged objectionable remarks made by him during a function held in Kerala's Kochi. Bagicha Singh, in-charge of the Akal Takht secretariat, said on Thursday that the Takht received numerous complaints against Dr Karamjit Singh following a viral video in which he purportedly made comments undermining the distinct identity of Sikhs at an event organised by the RSS-linked Shiksha Sanskriti Utthan Nyas and Amrita University, reportedly in the context of research conducted under a Chair at the university. In the video, the VC was heard speaking about the Sikh Gurus and the educational initiatives of the university, while Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat was seen seated on the stage. Both Akal Takht and Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) took cognisance of the matter, with SGPC removing Karamjit Singh from the committee tasked with drafting service rules for the appointment and removal of the Jathedar of the Akal Takht. Later, in a statement issued by the university, it was said that the VC attended the meeting upon receiving an official invitation from the organising association. During the event, according to the statement, he shared details about significant projects undertaken by the university, including digitisation initiative to promote Punjabi language, environmental campaigns, and efforts to spread Sikh consciousness.
