Independence Day 2025: Nail Art, Hairstyles & Accessories to Flaunt Your Tricolour Spirit
As India gears up to mark its 79th Independence Day on August 15, fashion enthusiasts are finding vibrant ways to express their patriotism. From stylish manicures to festive hairstyles and accessories, the tricolour is making a bold statement this season. Tricolour Nail Art Ideas Clean Stripes: Opt for classic saffron, white, and green stripes using stencils or nail tape for sharp, clean lines. Ombre Magic: Blend the three shades seamlessly in an ombre effect, adding glitter or rhinestones for an extra festive touch. Cultural Motifs: Incorporate peacock patterns, mandalas, or minimalist drawings of landmarks like the Red Fort in patriotic hues. Abstract Art: Experiment with techniques like drag marble, stamping, or water marble to create unique abstract designs with saffron, white, green, and hints of blue. Iconic Tributes: Paint mini portraits of national icons such as Mahatma Gandhi or Subhash Chandra Bose, or inscribe inspiring quotes from figures like Rabindranath Tagore and Swami Vivekananda. Hairstyles with a Patriotic Twist Add orange or green ribbons to braids for a subtle festive flair. Wrap buns or ponytails with tricolour threads or ribbons. Tie hair with a tricolour scrunchie or rubber band for a sporty yet patriotic look. Create a satin tricolour bow for a headband or hair clip. Use saffron, white, and green thread extensions for braids or loose hairstyles. Accessories to Complete the Look Earrings & Brooches: Wear patriotic motifs featuring the flag, Ashoka Chakra, or simple tricolour bands. Headbands: Choose tricolour headbands to complement traditional or modern outfits. Scarves & Sashes: Pair a tricolour scarf with a white kurta or co-ord set for a timeless Independence Day look. Wrist Bands: Sport versatile bands that can also be styled in your hair. DIY Gajra: Craft a modern gajra from crepe or tissue paper petals in saffron, white, and green for a festive hair accessory. This Independence Day, let your style reflect your pride — from your nails to your hair, every detail can tell a story of freedom.

RPG Group present #KarDikha India - an action manifesto that reimagines freedom as a responsibility
RPG Group present #KarDikha India - an action manifesto that reimagines freedom as a responsibility PRNewswire Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 14: Freedom finds a fresh beat this Independence Day. Kar Dikha -- a spoken word and rap anthem by RPG Group -- redefines azaadi for today's India: not as a moment in history, but as a daily responsibility. RPG Group emphasizes the call to show up, take ownership, and shape a better India, stating: azaadi sirf paane ki nahi, nibhane ki bhi kahani hai. The music video draws from real stories across RPG Group and Mumbai -- factory workers keeping industry moving, neurodivergent employees at Raychem RPG breaking stereotypes, Pehlay Akshar children finding their voice, Koli women entrepreneurs driving change, and Worli's youth using hip-hop to reclaim their narrative. "Freedom is not just a gift we inherit, it's a duty we live every day. Kar Dikha is our call to every Indian to turn that duty into action," saysUdayan Dutt, President - Group HR, RPG Enterprises. The video embodies RPG Group's values of Touching Lives and Hello Happiness, measuring progress not in numbers, but in the lives uplifted. Composed and produced by Mumbai hip-hop pioneer Instine, with verses by Yeda Anna (Maddy), the track blends Indian sounds with modern beats -- a soundscape where grit meets hope. Shot by Alphabooom, the video is a tribute to everyday courage that rarely makes headlines. "This wasn't just a track -- it's an action manifesto set to music. Collaborating with RPG, every note was shaped to carry unity and every beat to echo courage. Independence isn't just about waving a flag, it's about standing up together and hold that hope for a better, brighter, happier India," said Instine, the project's executive producer. With its unapologetic tone and raw energy, Kar Dikha speaks directly to Gen Z and young India -- asking them to own the nation's future. This is our country; the responsibility to keep it moving forward is on us. "Collaborating with RPG felt magical. Seeing how deeply we are connected through this initiative was inspiring. I'm grateful to be part of something so impactful," said Yeda Anna. The music video is now streaming on YouTube and major platforms, with short form edits on Instagram Reels, LinkedIn and more.

This August 15, watch four inspiring women as they redefine Independence
This Independence Day, meet four women protagonists who embody the responsibility that comes with freedom. They exemplify patriotism, social consciousness, empathy and courage. Dr. Sneha, Captain Shikha Sharma, Vartika Chaturvedi and Kashaf not only make space for the feminine perspective in male-dominated realms but also strain against societal prejudices. Each of these women reflect values central to the idea of India, provoke thought and encourage us to imagine and work towards a more equal, just, fair and resilient country. 1. The Test Case Directed by Vinay Waikul and Nagesh Kukunoor, 'The Test Case', though faintly inspired by the Demi Moore starrer 'G.I. Jane' (1997) shattered stereotypes by portraying Nimrat Kaur as the first woman to be 'tested' in a combat role in the Indian army. Kaur plays Captain Shikha Sharma, the only woman in a group of Indian Army officers training to join the Special forces. In scenes reminiscent of Kavita Chaudhary's 1987 series 'Udaan', she falters initially at tasks entailing physical strength and attracts disdain and animosity from her male counterparts. But thanks to her leadership skills and determination, she not only graduates at the top of her training course but also ensures that she gets justice for the trauma she has been put through. The show invites us to envision an India where women will be treated on par with men and will not be made to feel unsafe everywhere. Watch it on JioHotstar. 2. Main Kuch Bhi Kar Sakti Hoon 'Main Kuch Bhi Kar Sakti Hoon' (MKBKSH), is a pathbreaking show ideated and launched by Population Foundation of India across television, radio, the internet, and mobile platforms. At its heart is Dr Sneha Mathur, a conscientious medical professional who chooses to leave the city to work in a village. Along the way, she tries to raise awareness about issues like family planning, domestic abuse, early marriage, sex selection, sexual and reproductive health. With patience, grit and courage, she breaks past barriers of ignorance and prejudice to transform lives. The show sparked conversations around gender equality and also sensitised the audiences to the rural inequities that must be bridged if India has to progress inclusively. The cumulative viewership of 150 million signifies that the show's message travelled far and wide. MKBKSH was directed by Feroz Abbas Khan. Watch it on YouTube. 3. Delhi Crime Richie Mehta's Emmy winning 'Delhi Crime' not only sheds light on the dark undercurrents of gender violence, social disparity and unchecked crime but also celebrates Deputy Commissioner of Police Vartika Chaturvedi (Shefali Shah) who leads from the front to bring hope and justice to victims and survivors of horrific crimes. The police procedural crime drama has tackled difficult subjects like the 2012 Delhi gang rape case and the trails of murders by the notorious Chaddi Baniyan Gang. The drama reminds us what conscientious policing can look like and at the International Emmy Awards held in November 2020, it became the first Indian series to receive the award for Best Drama Series. Watch it on Netflix. 4. Guilty Minds 'Guilty Minds' is an unusual legal drama steered by Shefali Bhushan and Jayant Digambar Somalkar. This series stars Shriya Pilgaonkar as Kashaf Quaze who with her friend Vandana runs a law centre to take up class action and humanitarian cases. Along the way, she comes face to face with many issues that contemporary India is facing but always fights for the underdog and never gives up on her idealism even in the face of disillusion. Be it gender violence, water shortages in rural India or corruption, Kashaf shows us how to take challenges head on and speak up for the voiceless. Watch it on Amazon Prime.
