5. •Independence Day of India is celebrated on Fifteenth of August
(8/15/47) to commemorate its independence from British rule
and its birth as a sovereign nation in 1947.[1]
•The day is a national holiday in India. All over the country, flag-
hoisting ceremonies are conducted by the local administration
in attendance.
•The main event takes place in New Delhi, the capital city of
India, where the Prime Minister hoists the national flag at the
Red Fort and delivers a nationally televised speech from its
ramparts.
•In his speech, he highlights the achievements of his
government during the past year, raises important issues and
gives a call for further development. The Prime Minister also
pays his tribute to leaders of the freedom struggle.

6. •In 1946, the Labor government in Britain, its exchequer
exhausted by the recently concluded World War II, and
conscious that it had neither the mandate at home, the
international support, nor the reliability of native forces for
continuing to control an increasingly restless India, decided to
end British rule of India, and in early 1947 Britain announced its
intention of transferring power no later than June 1948.
•As independence approached, the violence between Hindus
and Muslims in the provinces of Punjab and Bengal continued
unabated. With the British army unprepared for the potential
for increased violence, the new viceroy, Louis Mountbatten,
advanced the date for the transfer of power, allowing less than
seven months for a mutually agreed plan for independence.

•In June 1947, the nationalist leaders, including Pandit
Nehru, Abdul Kalam Azad, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, B. R.
Ambedkar and Master Tara Singh agreed to a partition
of the country along religious lines.
•The predominantly Hindu and Sikh areas were assigned
to the new India and predominantly Muslim areas to the
new nation of Pakistan; the plan included a partition of
the provinces of Punjab and Bengal.

8. •Many millions of Muslim, Sikh, and Hindu refugees trekked
across the newly drawn borders.
• In Punjab, where the new border lines divided the Sikh regions
in half, massive bloodshed followed; in Bengal and Bihar, where
Gandhi's presence assuaged communal tempers, the violence
was more limited.
• In all, anywhere between 250,000 and 500,000 people on both
sides of the new borders died in the violence.
• On 14 August 1947, the new Dominion of Pakistan came into
being, with Muhammad Ali Jinnah sworn in as its first Governor
General in Karachi.
•At the stroke of midnight, as India moved into August 15, 1947,
Jawaharlal Nehru, read out the famous Tryst with destiny speech
proclaiming India's independence.

9. •The Prime Minister of India hoists the Indian flag on the
ramparts of the historical site, Red Fort ( ),
Delhi, on August 15.
•This is telecasted live on the National Channel
Doordarshan and many other News Channels all over
India. Flag hoisting ceremonies and cultural programs
take place in all the state capitals. In the cities around
the country the national flag is hoisted by politicians in
their constituencies.
•In various private organizations the flag hoisting is
carried out by a senior official of that organization.
• All over the country, flags are given out to citizens who
wear them proudly to show their patriotism towards
India.

sight on public and private buildings on national holidays like the
15th of August.

11. •The present scenario of India is something which should be
looked at.
•We now have an India completely changed from its olden style.
Corruption being the main activity has led to India to
backwardness.
• Independence had led India to a big time freedom but
politicians and other big hands have misused this independence.
•Although former Prime Minister and Congress party leader
Indira Gandhi is quoted as saying that corruption is a misuse of
power, We still don’t find any improvement in this and the name
of India is just getting locked down.

13. •Men and women from all over India joined hands and fought
for India’s freedom.
•Many were acclaimed while others contribution went
unnoticed.
•However, praise wasn’t what they desired for. It was the
dream of free and autonomous India which motivated them to
walk the path of struggle unselfishly.
•Neither did they battle for their region nor for their
natives, but for India and Indians.
• And we need to understand this fact truly because the
freedom which we enjoy today is because of the hard work and
fight offered by millions who are no longer with us.
• Jai ho!
