Independence Day in India is not just another day on the calendar; it is the pride of the country, a representation of victory, strength, and togetherness. Celebrating in grand style annually on 15th August, this national day marks the day India liberated itself from British colonial rule of over two centuries in 1947. It is a reminiscence about the numerous freedom fighters, revolutionaries, and visionary leaders who sacrificed everything—some even their lives, for the vision of a free India.
