Independence Day: A Nation's Pride, A People's Glory

History of Independence of The Republic of India

First of all, happy Independence Day to you all. As you all know, we are celebrating our 78th Independence Day. On August 15, 1947, our country, along with neighboring Pakistan, gained independence from Britain. Independence Day, one of India's three national holidays (the other two are Republic Day on January 26 and Mahatma Gandhi's birthday on October 2), is celebrated in every state and union territory in India. Also described as 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' in Hindi. Due to a mistake in the map drafting, the entire Nadia district aside from Nabadwip, became a part of Pakistan. On August 17, the night of the protests, the problem was fixed

Independence is the result of the struggle waged by our ancestors during the British rule. Independence coincided with the Partition of India, during which British India was divided into two Dominions: India and Pakistan (later known as the Republic of India and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan). The partition saw violent riots and a great loss of life, mainly due to religious differences and mistrust between the people of the two countries.
Later Pakistan was also divided into Pakistan (West Pakistan) and Bangladesh (East Pakistan).

The President of India gives a "Address to the Nation" on the eve of Independence Day. On August 15, the Prime Minister hoisted the Indian flag on the ramoarts of Delhi's historic Red Fort. In his speech, the Prime Minister celebrates the achievements of the past year, raises important issues and calls for further development. He honors the leaders of the cause for Indian freedom. The national anthem of the Indian national anthem "Jana Gana Mana" will be played.

The speeches will be followed by a procession of division of the Indian Army and paramilitary forces, with parades and performances showcasing India's independence struggle and diverse cultureal traditions. Similar events will be held in state capitals, with chief ministers of each state hoisting the national flag and parades and processions taking place.

       

Flag raising ceremonies and cultural programs are held in government and non-government organisations across the country. Schools and colleges hold flag raising ceremonies and various cultural events. Government and non-governmental institutions adorn their rooms with paper, aerial balls with Freedom Fighter portraits on the walls, and large government buildings are often decorated with light strings. In Delhi and in some cities, air snake flights are added on this occasion.

Built as a tribute to the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, India Gate is a stunning landmark in Delhi. The names of soldiers who died on the Northwest Frontier during the 1919 Afghan War and the 90,000 Indian soldiers martyred in World War I are inscribed on the gate's walls.

Made of Marble, Amar Jawab Jyoti is opposite to India Gate and was built in 1971. It was built in memory of the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the December 1971 India - Pakistan war. The flame has a uniform by soldiers, and a glossy rifle decorated with the Army helmet is stored next to it.

The India Gate is lined with a green lawn, which functions as a popular picnic for families. The best time to visit this monument is a night immersed in the soft golden light and shine of the dark star without stars.
