This Independence Day, Digvijay Rathee chose to speak from the heart, delivering a message that went far beyond the tricolour in the sky and the sound of patriotic songs. As the nation celebrated its 79th year of freedom, he reminded everyone that August 15 is not just a date in the calendar — it’s a mirror held up to our values, asking us if we’re living up to the legacy we inherited.

Digvijay shares his views on the occasion

Reflecting on the occasion, Digvijay shared, “Independence Day has always been more than waving a flag — it’s about remembering the courage it took to give us this life, and asking ourselves what we are doing to protect it. On this 79th Independence Day, I wish for an India that grows not only in power and progress, but in compassion and togetherness. A country where equality isn’t just a word in the constitution, but something we see and feel in our everyday lives. That’s how we truly honour our freedom, and that’s the India I’m proud to stand for. Jai Hind!!”

His words struck a chord because they weren’t just patriotic — they were deeply personal. The vision of a country where equality is lived, not just promised, resonated across social media. In an age where headlines often focus on division, Digvijay’s message was a rare reminder that freedom is not truly complete until it is shared by every citizen, regardless of caste, creed, gender, or background.
