The Story in Brief
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant on Saturday wished India continued progress with strength, democracy, the rule of law, equality and constitutional principles. Speaking to reporters in Delhi, he also called for the country to move towards a stronger and brighter future.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi hoisted the National Flag at the Red Fort and said India would become a developed nation by 2047. The ceremony included a 21-Gun Salute using indigenous 105mm Light Field Guns. Modi also described the full rendition of Vande Mataram at the Red Fort for the first time since Independence as a historic moment.

Democracy, equality and the rule of law are measured through institutions and citizens’ daily experience, not speeches or symbolism. The 2047 promise will need clearer benchmarks, including jobs, incomes and public services. Which numbers will show whether India is truly moving forward?
