India celebrates Independence Day on August 15 every year to commemorate the nation’s freedom from the United Kingdom in 1947. The UK Parliament passed the Indian Independence Act of 1947, which transferred legislative sovereignty to the Indian Constituent Assembly.
On the eve of Independence Day, the President of India addresses the nation. On August 15, the Prime Minister hoists the Indian flag on the Red Fort in New Delhi and delivers a speech. In his speech, he highlights the past year’s achievements and raises important issues for further development. He also pays tribute to the leaders of the Indian independence movement who fought for India’s independence.
It is a day to remember the sacrifices of the freedom fighters who gave their lives to make India independent. It is also a day to celebrate our freedom and reaffirm our commitment to the values of democracy, unity, and secularism.
The story of India’s freedom struggle is a story of strength, courage, wisdom, and determination. It is a story of how a group of people came together to fight for their freedom, despite all odds. It is a story that inspires us to never give up on our dreams, no matter how difficult they may seem.
We are grateful to our freedom fighters for their sacrifice and we pledge to uphold the values for which they fought. We will continue to work hard to make India a better place for all.
Independence Day before Independence
The idea for complete independence developed at the 1929 Lahore session of the Indian National Congress, and the Purna Swaraj declaration, or “Declaration of the Independence of India” was promulgated. Jawaharlal Nehru hoisted the tricolor flag of India upon the banks of the Ravi in Lahore, which later became part of Pakistan. The Declaration of Independence was officially promulgated on 26 January 1930.
Congress observed 26 January as Independence Day between 1930 and 1946. 26 January is now celebrated as the Republic Day of India every year.
