Top 5 smartphone apps to try on this 74th Indian Independence Day

On Saturday, we celebrate India's 74th Independence Day. August 15, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to unfurl the national flag at 7:30 am and receive the guard of honour from three wings of the armed forces- Indian Army, Indian Air Force, and Indian Navy. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it will be a restricted event with no large gathering of guests and people not just in the capital New Delhi, but also across all states in India.
