India's Independence Day, observed on August 15, commemorates the historic moment the country broke free from British rule in 1947. This momentous occasion honours the sacrifices of freedom fighters who fought tirelessly for India's independence and reflects on the progress made since then.
Across India, Independence Day is celebrated with great enthusiasm, holding parades, cultural performances and decorations in the national colours of saffron, white and green. Flags, flowers and balloons are used to decorate public buildings, schools and homes, while communities come together to enjoy patriotic songs, traditional foods and various events.
As we mark this significant day, we remember our brave freedom fighters who gave their lives, resisted British intimidation and suffered in jails to end British slavery.
