India Independence. JOYOUS colourised photographs have been released of the first day of Indian Independence from Great Britain including leader Mahatma Gandhi to coincide with the 70th Anniversary celebrations. The incredible photographs show the eruption of joy among Indian civilians, alongside the proud laughter of their saviour Gandhi. Accompanying video footage of the handover ceremony by British Viceroy Mountbatten to the first Prime Minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru show Indian troops on parade and controlling crowds. Another rare colourised photo shows the partition of India in 1947 and a meeting between Gandhi and Louis Mountbatten, a British naval officer and statesman. The stunning photographs were colourised by electrician, Royston Leonard (55), from Cardiff, Wales, who has spent hours to bring the photos to life. Royston Leonard / mediadrumworld.com
