India is celebrating its 73rd Independence Day and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation and deliver his sixth speech from the Red Fort today.

The Prime Minister took to the social media to wish the fellow Indians on the joyous occasion ahead of the celebrations.

सभी देशवासियों को #स्वतंत्रतादिवस की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं। जय हिंद!

Happy Independence Day to all my fellow Indians. Jai Hind!

Modi, who won this year's Lok Sabha elections in a landslide victory, was elected the Prime Minister for the second term. Since taking office for the second time, the Modi government has made many changes in the country, especially the historical abrogation of Section 370 and 35A, that provided special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
