Freida PintoPatriotism should be about acting on the issues at hand, making your country a better place to live in, instead of ranting ‘I believe in my country’.Quote credit: HT City

Kailash KherIndependence means a lot to me but everyday is Independence Day for me. I don't believe in celebrating any one day for it. I like to sow seeds of goodness every day by doing some good deeds, I'm not a slave of greed and superficiality.Quote credit: Kanika Johri

Imran ZahidThe idea of independence/patriotism in today's context to me is not fighting corruption with a candle light protest at India Gate. In order to bring change, we should first try to be honest to ourselves.Quote credit: Parmita Uniyal

Mahesh BhattI'm not the kind of person who celebrates Independence day. But independence to me signifies the commitment that you make to your countrymen, that whenever your dignity is squashed, you should stand up and protest against it. An independent man should fight, and it is his duty to do that. We should also dedicate the independence day to some of the greats from which we have benefitted.Quote credit: Parmita Uniyal

Minissha LambaThe parades that used to be organised at my school and college are still my fondest memory of the day. Flag hoisting used to feel me with pride. I used to watch patriotic films.Quote credit: HT City

Simone SinghFor me this day is our greatest historical landmark in modern times. Everything that followed who we became as a nation, our achievements, our failings, the choices we make as a people and a country, the fact that we can do this as a sovereign nation - all have been possible only because we gained our independence on this day.Quote credit: Parmita Uniyal

Rakesh BediIt's very simple. I have my own perception towards my country. Even if I'm alone at home and the national anthem is playing I stand up. I think that some people are stabbing my country in the back. The politicians and people in power and all, but that doesn't mean that my loyalty towards my country can get diminished.Quote credit: Anjali Nambissan
