Do you still celebrate your country's independence day with vigor?

[The Bald Eagle]

Based on my personal experience, I've noticed that some people celebrate the independence day of a foreign country where they currently live or have worked with even more enthusiastically than they do their own country's independence day.

So, I have a simple question for everyone here: Do you still feel the same excitement and pride on your country’s independence day as you did in the past, or have you stopped celebrating it altogether because of serious concerns about how your country is being governed?

No. I don't celebrate or care about these. All I care about is a holiday so that I can sleep more and eat nice foods.

Lol so true, and many will consider it unpatriotic but there ain't any such feeling

When I was growing up in India it was fun, less to cheer nowadays as I’m more cynical now due to politicians and of course the geography.

I used to have negative vibes even as a school student as that would indicate the end of summer vacations.

I do like it. It's a day to honour the achievement, and to remember the sacrifices of partition.

When I am in the UK I don't go on parades or wave flags. I find these incredibly dumb now, but they were entertaining when younger.

As I’ve said before I have transcended beyond the idea of nationalities.

We as Muslims don’t have nationalism or any of this sort of fake identity. We are one nation regardless of whatever names and boundaries foreign western powers have put upon us in the last 100 or so years… we are the Ummah born all over Allah’s green earth.

Nationality passionality is a man made construct I don’t care about.

Living in 2025 though, like DV said above I still pray for the shaheed martyrs who gave up their life in the name of Islam on Aug 14 1947

India got independence from the British in 1947, so @Rajdeep, as a proud British Indian, do you celebrate 15th August or sulk about losing the colony?
