Independence Day is a defining moment in India’s history, celebrated every year on 15 August to honour the nation’s freedom from colonial rule. It commemorates the sacrifices of countless freedom fighters whose courage, determination, and resilience gave India its independence.

The celebration begins with the Prime Minister hoisting the national flag at the Red Fort in New Delhi, followed by a speech that highlights national achievements, challenges, and future goals. Schools, colleges, government buildings, and residential communities hold flag-hoisting ceremonies, patriotic songs, cultural programs, and exhibitions on India’s freedom movement.

Independence Day is a powerful reminder of the value of freedom and the responsibility to uphold democratic principles. It encourages citizens to honour the legacy of the freedom struggle and contribute to nation-building with dedication and unity.
