It is a blessing to be born in free country. The present generation would never know the great trauma inflicted by the foreign rulers against which our undaunted countrymen made a myriad sacrifices. The Andaman and Nicobar islands are the special as they have witness to this great struggle and also to that Red letter day, when Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose with members of his Azad Hind Government unfurled the tri-color for the first time on the soil of India. With the denomination of Rs. 75 and themes of cellular jail along with the first tricolor hosting by Netaji, the commemorative coin epitomizes the quintessential spirit of the at golden moment in the history when Netaji declared the islands as the first Indian Territory to be freed from the British Raj. The commemorative coin will cellular jail in the background reminds us of the great travails and unimaginable atrocities our freedom fighters underwent, carrying the love of the motherland in their hearts. The foreground with Netaji’s salute to the tricolor symbolizes the dawning of hope for millions of Indians and an end to those countless miseries our people embraced bravely. This year we are commemorating 75th Anniversary of First Flag Hosting on 30th December, 2018 and it’s a proud privilege to present the commemorative coin to the Nation!!
