Dawn's pictures are mind blowing. Keep it up. India's pluralism and vibrancy makes India enchanting to the rest of the world.

@Khilari thank u to all brothers from pak

@Harmony-1© three tricolor and green is the symbol of prosperity , growth and life

Thank you very much, Dawn.

Thank you Dwan, for the nice pictures! None of Indian news paper carry much.

Once again an excellent photo feature from 'Dawn'. Thank you very much.:) The year 2016 is one of the BEST years in the post-Independence period. The economy is fastest growing in the world at 7.6% capable of even a faster growth. The GST Bill passed recently will very likely, accelerate the growth further. The space program is turning in very good results, and Indian companies are expanding in a number of countries abroad. Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka,Bhutan and Myanmar can ONLY BENEFIT from the growth and the increasing sophistication of the Indian economy. India has become one big COMMON MARKET and Indians can only hope that other countries in the littoral can participate in it in a big way. Happy Independence Day to Pakistan!:) And, Kashmiris, figure out a solution which is sensible and sane for yourself and for the entire region.

beautiful Pics ..!!! Love you India...

Thank you dawn for these beautiful pictures.... May God bless peace for both nations....wishing many very happy and pleasant independence day to both India and Pakistan.

dawn is awesome........

Proud,,,,, I am Indian

Thank you Dawn

Long Live India... Jai Hind & Vande Mataram Nation of peace and prosperity

Great photos.

Nothing hurts more than the picture of the Indian flag lying on the ground, on fire ... how can any self respecting nation hold a dialogue with anyone that does that?? If the Hurriyat are serious about any kind of resolution to the problem, they will have to adopt a more mature stance ... And how can any nation that is supposedly serious about peace with its neighbours allow this on its soil?

Thanks Dawn you guys beats all the newsies in india the pictures from Ahmedabad speaks a thousand words about Indian Muslims how main stream they are i have a request send your correspondents and photographers to Kerala to report the beauty of everything and diversity and Kerala Model

Love you mother India. Proud that I am your child and born in this vibrant nation. Jai Hind

@Harmony...good that you spotted...even Indian flag has green color in it..

Nice collection..Thanks DAWN. :)

Thanks, Love you ......

Nice pics, thank you dawn

Thanks Brother , Love you ....

I wish The Hindu, Hindustan Times publish vibrant colors of Pakistan , the same way as Dawn.

Only few culprit are doing such non-sense , disgusting acts, although most of Indians and Pakistanis respect each other emotions, faiths and ideas.

Thank you DAWN.

Nice to see this snap in your website. Thanks a lot from this end. Hope things will be better in near future. You can understand us, more in coming years.

Brilliant pictures of Indian celebrations, coming from a Pakistani newspaper. Hope this will produce feelings of friendship between the people of the two countries having so much in common.

awesome pics... thanks dawn!!

Thank you Dawn for these amazing pics of my beloved motherland India. The pic of smiling Mehbooba Mufti was heart touching. 99% of the Kashmiris like me want to remain with India. Wish some of our misguided Kashmiri brothers understand this. Jai Hind!

Very cool!

It's a black day for kashmiri. :-(

Amazing pictures.. thanks DAWN

thanks dawn.. awesome , great pictures , pl also cover cities in east , south etc.. Jaihind -unity in diversity

@Zubair For that Pak needs to be that vibrant

Happy Independence day to both countries!!

Surprised neutral and unbiased newspaper exists in Pakistan. Kudos to dawn. Nice work and lovely pics.

Happy 70th Independence Day to India!!!

These photos are a treat to the eye! Thank you Dawn!

Thanks for covering India in its Independence Day.

@Ravi Its beautiful..There is no power in the pics.

Thanks dawn for presenting a colorful India in front of Pakistan. Leave other matters rise beyong caste and religion this is the only way u can progress, it's a message for Pakistan.

Thanks Dawn

Beautiful photos of Vibrant India!! That was our dream and thats our dream to see diversity and Unity!! Thanks Dawn for the beautiful photos!!

Thank you, Dawn. Jai Hind

let me congrats both countries for 70th independence day and thanks to dawn for nice pics,once up on a time we all were living with harmony together and time will come back again and we will share our joys and sorrows of each other and dawn will play important role for better prospects of both countries.

Thanks DAWN.. V.Good coverage of Independence Day

Love India

@Harmony-1© some people will say to change it, its their view that's all, it has no importance. But, Indian flag will remain the same. There will not be any change.

@Harmony-1© Do you have a problem with that? Her choice. It is a free country.

DAWN KO NAZAR NAHI LAG JAYE. JADOO KAR DIYA. Photography journalism at its best. Team Dawn and every person involved in preparing such scripts deserve a strong round of applause.

@Zara And we should. It is a travesty that we have it on 14/8 and they on 15/8. Independence day was officially 15/8 for both, the old and the new born nation. Let us make it 15th! And for once agree with India as it is the real older senior nation from whence we all came.

Thanks dawn for some fabulous pics of India independence day celebration....

@Ritesh you are 100% correct

While there are lot of positives in the present day India, there are few fatal flaws that still exist The scares of partition and inequality will not go away with passing generations. The Indian State will need to address it. IMO, they are in the right direction. Kashmiris should look for a Gandhi..and not extremists..the more extremist you get the more hard the Indian State will become. You have a tried-tested-n-sure method that the Great Mahatma gave- why depend on Pak Army sponsored militancy??? As far as Pakistan is concerned, it has to curb the religious fundamentalism. Economic growth is in your own hands, don't blame neighbours for hampering the progress. Thank You Dawn for the great coverage - on "Independence" and "Partition". You are giving an unbiased account of history to the present generation. People who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it....it is all a cycle...a circle of life..

Beautiful pics.

@IndiaWale thanks for your gesture

Thank you Dawn. You have been a great platform where Indian and Pakistani minds meet regularly and express their views independently. Thanks for publishing so many diverse views, even so many of them are anti Pakistan in nature. You are really independent, which probably you have achieved with your hard work and perseverance. This should provide huge courage to everyone who believes pen is mightier than sword and ready to fight for it. All the best wishes.

It is very refreshing to see pics from across the border, thank you DAWN for sharing, i see these pics and wonder, how are these people any different from me? they smile just like I do, they dress just like I do, heck they look just like I do, so whats so different? our faiths? is that it? I know our faith(Islam) does not promote violence, I know Hinduism does not promote violence, I know there are lots of versions and opinions on why we hate each other, one thing is for certain, non of those ad justify hate, none of them. The peace must start from the people of both sides

Thanks Dawn for showing a wonderful display of the Independence Day... We wish Happy Independence Day to Pakistan and our brothers in Pakistan too...

Gr8 joB!!!! Not sure if even India media covered this as Dawn did!! Thanks!

For the first time since 1953 no indian flag was hurled in kashmir. The official flag also came down itself on the head of Mahbooba Mufti.

@TAHIR a little too late, inst it??

good fotos as usual by dawn! keep it up! spread friendssship succh gestures instead of hatred!

Dawn, it is unbelievable that even in these times of pathological hatred, you could publish these beautiful pictures highlighting the human element still present in the celebrations of our (indian) independence day. I don't know whether any Indian media house would have the guts and the broad mind to do the same about Pakistan. Best of luck, Dawn!

Many congrats to our Indian for Independence day.

Happy Independence day to all the Indians around the world. Beautiful pics, lovely people, majestic colors.

@Ali (Proud Indian) - enough said my brother... that is the crux of this entire issue... why should be talk to someone who lets these happen on its soil...

Thats the beauty of India..vibrant, diverse but still ONE...Every citizen irrespective of his differences celebrating the day... Thank you Dawn..

I love my india

@Harmony-1©, Also notice how India allows even desecration of Indian flag if it is done peaceful. That is called a peaceful freedom of expression in a democratic country.

Love to India from Pakistan

Thank you Dawn. I could see some wonderful photographs of India's independence day celebrations.

Dear Indian friends wish you a happy Independence Day.

Thank Dawn !!! I see the comments and pics...most of them from/of Indian Muslims... World should understand.... Hindu and Muslim are living in India like a family.... Indian flag lying on the ground and burning.... I don’t think no nation in world will allow this on their soil.. amazing..what a tolerance … Happy independence day to both India and Pakistani!!!

Thanks Dawn. It makes me very proud of my Indian heritage. Bande Mataram

Excellent pictures, uniforms and caps are colorful, look amazing. In this moment of joy for Indians, let Kashmiris express themselves the way they want.

To Indian and Pakistani's in doubt around where true frienship lies, forget the politicians and think of Dawn, the paper founded by our founder. Happy Independance day.

Happy independence day india

Happy Independence Day India from all Kasmiris!proud to be a part of India! Mufti is wearing green to show prosperity of Kasmiris with India!IA

Happy Independence Day to Indians

Thanks Dawn for these colourful and beautiful pictures. Our greetings to you as well as people of Pakistan on its Independence Day, rather a new nation was born on this day

Thank you Dawn! As an Indian, I feel grateful for this wonderful gesture by a brother nation.

@harmony u forgot that Green is one of the 3 colours in our flag..

Words can't express my appreciation. Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures. I wish India and Pakistan unite and fight against our common enemy and bring in Peace.

Happy Independence day to all Pakistani & Indian brothers and sisters. Be peace prevail forever.

Your picture coverage is better than Indian papers. Thanks Dawn.

I just wonder how you manage to get these wonderful photos from across India.. Thank you..

We love India....

Thanks Dawn....for such a wonderful pics.

Jai Hind

Thanks. For beautiful pictures.I must congratulate The Dawn for always reporting news in unbiased way.That is the spirit of true Journalism.Regards

As always, wonderful pictures from Dawn, that you can not find anywhere else. You guys take the best pictures - AMAZING, absolutely AMAZING!

@Harmony-1© So good, isn't it? Green is the colour in India's National Flag.

Colours of Diversity.

DAWN, The best newspaper in Asia......... Lots of Love from India

Great Dawn...Your pictorial reporting is always awesome and unparalleled...

Thanks for posting such nice & colorful images of diverse India

DAWN thank you so much to bring TRUE colours of Indian Unity where all Muslims ,Hindus and other religions live together and celebrate together. Happy Independence day to India & Pakistan.

Thank you dawn, wishing both sides a very happy Independence Day

Thanks a lot DAWN for beautiful pictures, wishing both countries Happy Independence day and god bless us.

Beautiful pictures. Thank you Dawn for showing us Independence Day celebrations of other side of border. Love from Pakistan! :)

Good write up ...Excellent prose by Dawn journos....Best wishes to all ....

Beautiful ceremony and great pictures

Nice pictures!

Excellent photos.Hats off to Dawn. I have never seen it in any Indian newspaper. Keep up your loft standards.

Unity in Diversity ! Progress in 70 Years ! Beautiful Pictures except the one . We wish you to become vibrant Nation too.

Thanks a lot Dawn for such beautifull collection

Telling pictures.. some sad but most happy!!!

Millions of thanks to Dawn for presenting such lovely pictures of the Independence Day of India. The loveliest and the the most heart moving picture is the one wherein Indian border forces are presenting Indian Sweets to Pakistani border force personnel as a token of sharing the joy of Indian Independence with their Pakistani counter parts. I hope that Pakistani border forces also reciprocate by presenting sweets to their Indian colleagues on Pakistan Independence Day i.e. 14th August, each year. While the forces of hatred and hostility including many such politicians and religious radicals both sides, are engaged in hate mongering and dividing the people of both sides such events of sharing the joy and freedom of each other's bring great joy and pleasure to the majority of common people of India and Pakistan, who believe in neighborly love, respect and amity.

As always, a lovely photo feature. Thank you DAWN. I particularly loved the photo of the CRPF K9 squad.

@Harmony-1© No one will take RSS seriously on that suggestion.

Burning the indian flag will not provide any resolution. If they dont respect the flag the nation will not respect them and the struggle will continue.

Only DAWN could give such beautiful coverage to make India look colourful. Great job!

superb photos , amazing coverage , dawn dazzles

Never in the history of India, did Indians feel so proud of their country as they do today. It is all due to the leadership of Modi.

beautiful photography, Happy Independence to Pakistan Happy Independence to India Do remember Kashmiries ...

Thanks a lot Dawn for the nice pics...you always publish like this on many occasions..

@Harmony-1© It represents one of the color of Tricolor flag. :)

@Ranjan thank you very much brother... Wishing you the same from Pakistan, We are same in all aspects except our faiths, I know Islam and Hinduism both don't support or promote terrorism, then why we hate each other??? Come on let's join our hands and make the both nations well developed so that people from west and other parts of the world could come here for investment etc. Respect from Pakistan dear bro.. Wishing all the Indians a very happy Independence Day.

Proud to be an Indian.

The pictures are excellently captured. Dawn require to be greatly complimented for the fantastic presentation. Thank you Dawn!!!

The 1st photo of Modi makeing a speach with majestic Jama Masjid on the other side says a lot about India's secularism. There may be problems, but overall India is a very tolerant and colourfull nation. THE UNITED COLOURS OF INDIA!

wishing all hindostanis and paksitanis - independence from war and resolve to fight for food, shelter , education, humanism ( as in west no work is low or high ) . respect for each other countries

@Sohail Khan Wazir I know, its true that the Pakistan occupied Kashmir was supposed to be a developed state and would have been celebrating this great day. But, unfortunately black day for them.

" The idea of India is stronger than India" M.J Akbar Indian journalist and now, a minister of the state of the Union Government.:):)

@TAHIR Long Live Both the countries. Forget re-drawing Borders. Coming from son of Migrant Father who saw Lakhs killed when the border was drawn. Don't make a joke of Kashmir, it is not a halwa - nobody should ask for it. Let it be where it is.

Thanks! ...for showing beautiful India.

Nice pictures. Jai Hind.
