Independence Day in India is synonymous with kite flying. The lanes of Delhi, especially the alleys of Old Delhi, are dotted with pop-up stores selling vibrant kites with imagery depicting freedom and India's rich culture. As we enter our 78th year of independence and celebrate Independence Day 2024, the tradition of kite flying continues to colour the Indian skies, with exclamations of "Ayi Bo" adding to the festive gusto.
