Belying a perception that Madrasas generally show little interest in national festivals like Independence Day and Republic Day, several Islamic seminaries across the country, along with the nation, celebrated the Yaum-e-Aazadi (Independence Day) with enthusiasm.
The day was marked with zest and fervor by hoisting the national flag. Following the national tradition Madrasas teachers and students gathered under the National Flag – Tiranga – hoisted it and sang the National Anthem and National Song with teachers reminding their pupils about the importance of the day and that they should be a faithful citizen of the country.
Here are the photos, depicting how Independence day was celebrated in madrasas across the country
