In colleges and school,if it is a valentines's day celebration atleast 95 percentage of students will be present.They will exchange flowers,share greeting.Sometimes there will be games and even a dress code..but in case of August 15 just the opposite is seen..Everyone will consider it as a holiday and will sit at home.Majority are not at all interested in celebrating independence day and they wont be present even for the flag hoist!
One more interesting fact is that, if the V day is on Sunday, they will arrange the celebration on Saturday or Monday..on the other hand, if the I day is on Monday they will take it as a Sunday!!

Do you think this is the case everywhere?.Why is this mentality? why youth lack commitment to nation.Is it because of westernization or is it a failure of our educational system.?

Independence day is a national function and the entire nation celebrates it. Any other festival is not comparable. Valentine day is gaining popularity. But this is not comparable to any national function like Independence Day. Our life consists of national, community and personal matters. Celebration of valentine day does not indicate lack of national feelings.

Yes youth really celebrate valentine day far more than independence day, Diwali, and other Indian festivals.

This is nothing except copying western culture...
