history for the rest of our lives. It was a day that was going to
redefine the subcontinent forever…yes it was the 15th of August
1947. But I oftentimes wondered what the run up to that day
looked like…the 24 hours before the big day. What were the
people doing? How did they respond? What were the leaders of
an imminently independent country up-to? My questions go on
forever.
Purvanshi: To answer some of those, the students of Class 9 and
11 have put together a small play that is a dramatization of that
very day… Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls , get ready for a
