Badhe Chalo movement received encouraging response from
the youth of our nation in a way that resonates with them i.e. through song and
dance. The Wagah Border event was a sight to behold and remember. In most places,
crowds joined in the Flash Dance making it even more spectacular. The Badhe

event surely rekindled the fire of patriotism in one and all, encouraging us to
hoist a Tiranga in our homes from 13th to
15th August with swelling
national pride in our hearts, and our heads held high.
