Independence Day 2024

India celebrates its 78th Independence Day. The Independence Day of India, which is celebrated religiously throughout the country on August 15th of each year, holds a special place in the list of national holidays because it reminds every Indian of the morning of a new beginning, the beginning of an era of deliverance from the clutches of British colonialism after more than 200 years. On August 15, 1947, India proclaimed independence from British colonialism and handed over sovereignty to the country's leaders. India's achieving independence was a tryst with destiny, since the war for liberation was long and tiring, seeing the sacrifices of many freedom fighters, who laid down their lives on the line.
