Today marks the 63rd anniversary of the India’s independence. It is a "Black Day" for all the minorities of India. India has a poor record of human rights, from Kashmir to Punjab to Northeast. India has extremely serious human rights problems. Primary among them is the culture of impunity to security forces. By observing August 15 as black day, we are keeping the desire for freedom alive.
