Nation's pride


People look on as the last Viceroy of Independent India Lord Mountbatten and Lady Edwina drive past the North Block in New Delhi to the Constitution Hall (now Parliament House) to attend the flag hoisting ceremony on the first Independence day of India on August 15, 1947.

Dear Swati,

I have seen your blog with the rare pictures of independence. I am writing to you as the Editor of www.dadinani.com, where we are capturing a variety of Indian memories. One of the categories is Major Events Pre-1950, and I would like to use some of your pictures there.

I would also like to get a contribution from you, family, friends and readers in the various categories on the dadinani website.

With regards.
