India's first day as an Independent nation dawned as an auspicious day that carried symbols from mother nature and the Gods that be, to march into a beautiful future. The world's finest publications and broadcast teams were in Delhi on 15 August 1947 - that destined day and so was a BBC team with its correspondent Wynford Vaughan Thomas reporting on camera from Delhi.
We are posting the direct link to the BBC clip in Thomas' voice from that day above. Here is what he says
Frankly, I have never seen so many people. There must be here literally hundreds of thousands. A great swarming, excited, cheering, enthusiastic Indian crowd. There flies the flag, and behind it, the great monsoon clouds are piling up. A shower goes sweeping across the old Moghul fort. ANd a rainbow, a vivid rainbow breaks out right across the sky... a symbol. we all wish, who are here... for the future hope, and prosperity of the new Dominion of India.
Here is another beautiful clip in colour.
Truly enough, India has been a blessed country. Our scientists have gained global recognition, our sports, arts, culture are thriving. The country's citizens' Health parameters have been getting better. Like Thomas reported, the rainbow must have been a sign from the above of the good times ahead.
