Independence Day 2021: Share these patriotic messages and wishes on 75th anniversary of India's freedom struggle

-

After a long battle, India finally achieved its independence on 15 August 1947 from the British rule. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the country's successful struggle for freedom. Independence Day is celebrated every year as a reminder of the country's pride, virtues, cultural richness, diversity and history.

On this day, we pay homage to the sacrifices made by the freedom fighters to free our country from the 200-year-old colonial rule. The day also marks the anniversary of India's separation into two countries — India and Pakistan.

As India became an independent nation on 15 August 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India, unfurled the national flag at the Red Fort and addressed the nation. This tradition has been maintained since then. This year as well, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the country from the Red Fort.

Amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the 75th Independence Day this year is being celebrated with the theme 'Nation First, Always First'. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, there will be no big events.

Here are a few patriotic messages, wishes, and quotes, which you can to share with your family and friends on the occasion of Independence Day 2021:

  • "Forget not that the grossest crime is to compromise with injustice and wrong. Remember the eternal law: you must give if you want to get”— Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
  • “It is easy to kill individuals, but you cannot kill the ideas. Great empires crumbled, while the ideas survived” — Bhagat Singh
  • "Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err" —  Mahatma Gandhi

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
