When, How, Who?


After years of slavery and bondage under the British Empire, India got its independence in 1947 on
the 15th of August. It was not an easy task. It took a lot of selfless effort on the part of people like
Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Subash Chandra Bose, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Lala Lajpat Rai,
Rani Lakshmi Bai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. They had to make a lot of
sacrifices to attain freedom from British rule because they loved the country and cared for the
people. They could not stand the sight of people being oppressed and tortured to work like slaves
on their own land. This thought encouraged the freedom fighters to gather the courage and stand
for what they believed in and deserve.

Short Article on Independence Day


The Independence Day reminds every Indian of the beginning of a new era, the start of a new life
free from bondage and slavery. It is for the same reason that Independence Day is given so much
importance and celebrated in a very grand manner across the country. The 15th of August, 1947
marked the end of British colonialism and the dawn of the democratic republic. The Indian
Independence Bill, which was a vital part of the journey to freedom, was passed by the British
Parliament. It was Jawaharlal Nehru who declared India’s independence and swore in as the first
Prime Minister of India.

It was with the constant and determined years of non-violent efforts of the freedom fighters that
India got its independence. Independence Day is remembered and celebrated religiously across
India as the citizens commemorate the struggle for freedom.

country.

It is in New Delhi, the capital of India, that the most magnificent of celebrations happen. The
preparations for this day are extraordinary. The Address to the Nation would be given by the Prime
Minister on the eve of Independence Day. The events of the day start with the hoisting of the
National Flag, followed by 21 honorary gunshots and the National Anthem. The Prime Minister
then gives a speech about the struggles and achievements of our freedom fighters, who are the
reason behind the independent country we are a part of.

The Independence Day Fair follows next. This is a collection of various events, including the march
past of the army and a showcase of the cultures, traditions and specialities of the different states of
India. It is something that should not be missed. Everyone across the country witnesses the

elated to be a citizen of India.

This day is so significant that even amidst the pandemic, there was a low-key celebration with
twenty per cent of the usual guest list. Five hundred cadets of the National Cadet Corps attended
the event. The event was arranged with high security, and COVID-19 protocols were followed.
Medical booths were set up, and ambulances were stationed to cater to any sort of medical
emergencies.
