New Delhi, Aug 15 (NationPress) As the country celebrated its 79th Independence Day, the feeling of unity and national pride resonated not only in schools and government buildings but also in the mosques and madrasas throughout Delhi. A touching celebration unfolded at the Tajweed-ul-Quran Takiya Wali Masjid in Azad Market, where madrasa students gathered to honor the occasion with immense enthusiasm.

Dressed in the colors of the national flag, the children raised the Tiranga (Indian tricolor) and sang the national anthem, infusing the ambiance with a sense of pride and reverence. The event was attended by Imam Umer Ahmed Ilyasi, the leader of the All India Imam Organisation, who participated in the celebrations alongside the students.

In his speech, Maulana Ilyasi emphasized the ongoing transformation in India, stating, “Today’s Bharat is a changing Bharat. This transformation is evident right here in this madrasa. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi articulated from the Red Fort, this is a prosperous Bharat — a new Bharat, a developed Bharat, a great Bharat. The progress our nation is making under the Prime Minister's leadership is steering us toward becoming a global leader — a Vishwaguru.

He expressed his delight in witnessing the widespread celebration of Independence Day in both schools and madrasas.

“It fills us with joy to commemorate this day with madrasa children. The enthusiasm with which Independence Day is being celebrated in educational institutions across the country — including madrasas — signifies the unity and advancement of our nation. Bharat is on a path of rapid development and will soon reclaim its position as a leader on the global stage.”

The festivities at the madrasa transcended mere ceremony — they served as a potent declaration of inclusivity, national pride, and unity in diversity. As the children waved the national flag and sang patriotic songs, it became evident that the aspiration for a strong, developed, and united India thrives in every corner of the nation — from the majestic avenues of the capital to the classrooms of local madrasas.

This year’s Independence Day was not only a homage to the past but also a vision of the future — a future being crafted by the aspirations of young Indians from diverse backgrounds.
