London: India celebrated its 78th Independence Day on 15 August, the day of independence from the British. On this occasion, pictures and videos related to the celebration of Independence Day came out from the country and abroad. People in India celebrated Independence Day with great enthusiasm. But Indians living abroad also celebrated on this occasion by carrying the tricolor. Meanwhile, a video has been seen on social media, in which Pakistanis are also standing with Indian people for the national anthem of India. The video is said to be from the UK. Farid Qureshi, a journalist associated with Pakistani media outlet ARY News, made a video of it and posted it on his Instagram. Qureshi wrote on Instagram, ‘Divided by Britain, united in Britain. Pakistanis and Indians are celebrating Independence Day together. In this video, the audience is showing respect to the national anthem of India. The previous video is of the national anthem of Pakistan, which was sung by both Pakistanis and Indians at Piccadilly Circus.’

What did people say on social media
One person wrote, ‘This is what educated people do.’ Another said, ‘Now it is ironic that we are celebrating independence in the same country from which we got rid of.’ Pakistan celebrates its Independence Day on 14 August, just a day before India. Another video shows that the national anthem of Pakistan was also respected by Indians. Some people say that this is an attempt to bring the two countries closer.
