Independence Day Commemoration

14 August 2013

Rain and clouds dampened the ground but not the spirits of students and staff at the Aga Khan Academy, Hyderabad who were celebrating India's Independence Day.

Head of Academy, John Puddefoot raised the national flag at the Academy to commemorate the day, and the gathered crowd of students joined in the singing of the national anthem.

The flag-raising ceremony was followed by an enthusiastic cricket match in which staff and students valiantly tried to outdo each other. A torrential downpour arrived just in time to save the staff from defeat.
