15 August, Independence Day marks the end of British rule in 1947 and the establishment of free India. It is the day when India became free from the shackles of the British Raj. It was the dawn of the new era of liberation from British Colonialism of more than two hundred years.
People tasted the joy of freedom, away from the terror of 200 years of the British Raj.
India’s struggle for freedom was initiated in 1857 with the sepoy mutiny in Meerut. In the 20th century, Indian political parties and leaders launched a nationwide revolt against the oppressive British rules.
The Indian independence movement was led by Mahatma Gandhi, who advocated the path of non-violence to end British rule. He instilled the feeling of patriotism and a sense of belief and determination among the common man to win independence. Countless people lost their lives and faced the torture of Britishers, but they didn’t give up. Finally, India became a free nation.
The reins of control were handed over by Lord Mountbatten, the last viceroy of India. India emerged as the largest democracy in the world when Britishers transferred legislative sovereignty to the Indian Constituent Assembly.
Jawahar Lal Nehru declared India free on 15 August 1947 and swore in as the first Prime Minister of India. Pt. Nehru raised the Tricolour, The Indian National Flag above the Lahori Gate of the Red Fort in Delhi in the honor of the celebrations.
