A Very Indian Independence Day With Indian Motorcycle, In Bangalore

India gained Independence on 15 August, 1947, and we recently celebrated 70 years of freedom. India, has one thing in common with an American motorcycle company, which in the literal sense has had no connection with our country. The only connection is, the title - Indian. Yes, it is Indian Motorcycle we are referring to.

The Indian Independence Movement is one which went on for 90 years, starting way back in 1857. A turning point in the struggle for freedom though, was when Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi came back to India in 1915 after fighting for civil rights in South Africa. At the same time, but way out in America, in Indian Motorcycle was promoting a different kind of freedom - Motorcycling.
