Independence Day 2024
Which Independence Day is 2024?
Every year on 15 August, India celebrates Independence Day, which is one of the most significant events in Indian history. This day honours when India became an independent nation by severing its ties to British colonial control in 1947. This historic event is a monument to the millions of people who gave their lives in the independence movement, their unwavering resilience, and their indomitable spirit.
The Know India website mentions: “The Independence Day of India, which is celebrated religiously throughout the Country on the 15th of August every year, holds tremendous ground in the list of national days, since it reminds every Indian about the dawn of a new beginning, the beginning of an era of deliverance from the clutches of British colonialism of more than 200 years.”
“It was on 15th August 1947 that India was declared independent from British colonialism, and the reins of control were handed over to the leaders of the country. India’s gaining of independence was a tryst with destiny, as the struggle for freedom was a long and tiresome one, witnessing the sacrifices of many freedom fighters, who laid down their lives on the line,” it adds.

The path to an independent India was difficult and full of obstacles. The Indian population’s intense yearning for independence was sparked by decades of oppression under British colonial authority. Many visionary leaders sowed the seeds of resistance to oppose the colonial mindset.
The nation celebrates Independence Day with tremendous pride and emotion. The national flag, Tiranga, is hoisted with pride on government buildings, homes, and public places. People from all walks of life take part in parades, cultural events, flag-hoisting ceremonies, and patriotic anthems that fill the air.
