INDIA IS CELEBRATING HIS 75TH INDEPENDENCE DAY ON
15TH AUGUST 2021...
Independence Day 2021: On 15th August 1947, India got its freedom, ending an almost 200-year British rule in the subcontinent. It is a day of immense pride for all Indians as we commemorate the sacrifices made by millions of our freedom fighters, who had sacrificed their lives in the freedom struggle and with their unfaltering grit and patriotism, forced the British empire to finally retreat.
Besides, August 15 also marks the anniversary of undivided India’s partition into India and Pakistan, which took place on August 14-15 in 1947. Let’s not forget our roots and our history which led to this significant day.
History & Significance:-
India had a long battle and we are here celebrating the independence only due to the selfless sacrifices and headstrong commitment to Azad(free) India by our great freedom fighters. It all began with the Battle of Plassey in 1757 when the British got control over India and the East India Company began ruling in our country – often referred to as British Raj. The rule and slavery persisted for about a century. Our first attempt to get freedom in 1957 yielded no result and yet, Indians did not lose their heart and continued to strive and fight for the country’s independence.
The struggle, the hardship and the non-violence campaigns during the freedom struggle are remembered to date across the globe. People across the world were inspired by India’s unfaltering march to independence. Some of the great freedom fighters of India, whose courage and patriotism continue to inspire us to work for a prosperous and even stronger India, include legends like Mahatma Gandhi, Rani Lakshmi Bai, Bhagat Singh, Mangal Pandey, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Subhas Chandra Bose and hundreds and thousands more.
We have also had iconic leaders who strongly believed that “a pen is mightier than a sword” and wrote to freedom like Sarojini Naidu, B.R. Ambedkar, Rabindranath Tagore, Jyotibai Phule and many more.
It was an equal contribution of everyone – people who participated in wars, people who wrote about the discrimination and the injustice, people who participated in all manner – no matter how huge or small their contribution was. It was the collective effort of millions of people that led us to the path of independence!On the eve of India’s independence, Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime minister, had said in his “Tryst with destiny” speech – “At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom.”

Significance of the Tri-colour
The tri-colour flag flies highest in the sky, signifying that we now live in a Swatantra Bharath (Independent India).
The colours of our national flag have a great significance and a profound meaning. Did you know the national flag was adopted in its present form during the meeting of Constituent Assembly held on the 22 July 1947, twenty-three days before India’s Independence on August 15, 1947? Interestingly, the flag is made from khadi which is domestically spun Indian cotton as a symbol of nationalism and freedom.
