The Indian Independence Day celebrations continued with the cultural programmes being held in Abu Dhabi on Thursday and Friday.
The India Social and Cultural Centre (ISC) on Thursday night marked the festival with an array of programmes that captured the key moments of the freedom struggle. The independence movements led by Mahatma Gandhi, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Jawaharlal Nehru were staged in an impressive way.
The heroics of soldier Mangal Pandey, who played a key role in the outbreak of the 1857 rebellion, was staged and well-depicted with key moments from actor Aamir Khan's 'Mangal Pandey: The Rising' being shown in the background.
Many other folk dances and patriotic songs were part of the celebrations and left the capacity audience drenched in nationalistic spirits. The war cry 'Vande Mataram' echoed in the ISC premises.
