Independence Day

Indian Independence Day is celebrated on August 15th each year. This day commemorates the end of British rule in India and the birth of an independent nation in 1947. It marks a pivotal moment in Indian history, when the country gained sovereignty after years of struggle and movement led by figures such as Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and many others. The day is observed with various events including flag hoisting ceremonies, parades, cultural performances, and speeches. The Prime Minister of India delivers a speech from the Red Fort in Delhi, addressing the nation and reflecting on the progress and challenges of the country. Schools, government offices, and other institutions often hold their own celebrations to honor the occasion. Independence Day is a time for Indians to remember their history, celebrate their achievements, and reflect on their aspirations for the future.
