Indian Independence day

Here in Fremont, CA all Indians got together to celebrate the 60th Anniversary on August 11th 2007. There were Indian dancing, singing and also some books about rulers of India. There were a lot of fun stuff like mehendi stall, food and balloons. We had ice cream and samosa. We also met my old school mate Mayoli with her family. They were coming from Gilroy to celebrate the day. We had a great time.

It was a day I think everyone was out enjoying. I met Mayoli, my new friend Meghana and Atul's daycare teacher Mrs. Biju.

On the internet I read that the British people ruled India from 1858 - 1947. Gandhiji, also well known as "father of the nation" was one of the freedom fighter to bring independence to India. India got it's Independence on August 15th, 1947.
