Every year on 15 August, India celebrates its Independence Day to mark the end of British colonial rule in 1947. It is more than a national holiday — it's a moment to remember sacrifices, cherish freedom, and express love for our nation.
The struggle for independence began long before 1947 — from the Revolt of 1857, formation of the Indian National Congress in 1885, to the Quit India Movement in 1942. After decades of protests, movements, and sacrifices by countless freedom fighters, India finally gained independence on 15 August 1947, as declared by then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in his iconic “Tryst with Destiny” speech.
India’s independence came at the cost of partition and immense human suffering. Yet, the country emerged as the world’s largest democracy. The Indian National Flag was first hoisted at the Red Fort, and this tradition continues every year, accompanied by the Prime Minister’s address to the nation.
From schools to government offices, Independence Day is celebrated with flag-hoisting ceremonies, cultural events, and patriotic songs. People wear tricolour clothes, share national symbols online, and honor the memory of freedom fighters. The day ends with kite flying, reflecting the spirit of freedom.
