Happy Independence Day!


30 Pictures of India- Then (1947) & NOW (2014)

On this Independence Day- the first one since I started Blogging- I really wanted to put up something on this auspicious day... So I came up with this idea of posting certain "Then & Now" Pictures of India...
Most of the "Before" pictures are either around the year 1947 or before that... The ones of which I couldn't find up to 1947, I posted the oldest ones that I could get!

I hope you all like my effort... :)
