Rajagopalachari, Babu Rajendra Prasad, and Lord & Lady Mountbatten, plus reports of nationwide celebrations.

The edition also includes vintage advertisements from iconic brands pledging support to the newborn nation, and cultural gems like the announcement of M.S. Subbulakshmi’s special AIR performance.

Available from 14 August 2025 in Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Faridabad, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Chennai, only 5,000 copies will be printed-making it a true historical treasure.
