This year on August 15, we celebrate our platinum Independence Day. The Indian Independence Movement was spearheaded by the Indian National Congress under Mahatma Gandhi.
The Indian Independence Bill was introduced in the British House of Commons on July 4, 1947. India became a free country at midnight on August 15 and India’s first prime minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru gave his famous “Tryst with Destiny” speech. Independence Day is significant as it stands as a reminder of the sacrifices that innumerable freedom fighters made, so that future generations could live free from British oppression.
