The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community India sends heartfelt wishes on this Independence Day to all residents of the nation. As we observe this day, we pay homage to the courageous individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice for India’s freedom, granting future generations the privilege of breathing the air of liberty.

India is a democratic republic wherein every resident contributes equitably to its advancement and growth. Therefore, Independence Day serves as a poignant reminder of the obligations we hold towards our nation and fellow citizens. As we celebrate this occasion, we reiterate our commitment to fulfilling our responsibilities for the collective betterment of our beloved country.

Enjoining his countrymen to have respect and empathy for each other, the Holy Founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad^as, states:

“My countrymen, a religion which does not inculcate universal compassion is no religion at all. Similarly, a human being without the faculty of compassion is no human at all. Our God has never discriminated between one people and another. This is illustrated by the fact that all the potentials and capabilities which have been granted to the Aryans have also been granted to the races inhabiting Arabia, Persia, Syria, China, Japan, Europe and America… These attributes of God teach us the lesson that we, too, should behave magnanimously and kindly towards our fellow human beings and should not be petty of heart and illiberal.”
