Celebrating India’s Independence Day

Independence Day in India is celebrated annually on August 15th to commemorate the nation’s freedom from British rule in 1947. This day marks the end of a long and arduous struggle for independence, led by prominent figures like Mahatma Gandhi, who championed non-violent resistance and civil disobedience.

On this day, the Prime Minister of India hoists the national flag at the Red Fort in Delhi, followed by a speech addressing the nation. The event is broadcasted live, and the celebrations include parades, cultural performances, and patriotic songs. Across the country, people participate in flag-hoisting ceremonies, and schools and colleges organize various events to honour the day.

Independence Day is not just a public holiday but a day of pride and reflection for Indians. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals for the country’s freedom and the ongoing journey towards progress and unity.
