INDEPENDENCE DAY

INDEPENDENCE DAY IN INDIA IS CELEBRATED

PAKISTAN AS SEPARATE COUNTRIES, NO LONGER UNDER
BRITISH RULE. IT IS A NATIONAL HOLIDAY IN INDIA.
INDEPENDENCE DAY

SUBCONTINENT INTO TWO COUNTRIES, INDIA AND PAKISTAN,
WHICH OCCURRED AT MIDNIGHT ON AUGUST 14–15, 1947. INDIA
BECAME AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY ON 15TH AUGUST, 1947. THE
BRITISH WENT AWAY AND ALL THE INDIANS STARTED LIVING
HAPPILY. ON THIS DAY, THE FIRST PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA,
JAWAHARLAL NEHRU, RAISED THE INDIAN NATIONAL FLAG, ABOVE
THE LAHORI GATE OF THE RED FORT IN DELHI.
 INDEPENDENCE DAY
THIS DAY, IS ONE OF THE THREE NATIONAL HOLIDAYS IN INDIA, THE

MANA,” IS SUNG.
 INDEPENDENCE DAY
EVERY INDIVIDUAL HAS THE RIGHT TO LIVE FREELY, YET THE MUGHALS
AND LATER THE BRITISH TOOK AWAY OUR INDIAN INDEPENDENCE. FOR
MANY YEARS, THE BRITISH CONTROLLED INDIA. THEY BEGAN TO
PERSECUTE INDIANS. THE PRIMARY GOAL OF THE BRITISH WAS TO
CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE THAT SUITED THEM. TO LIBERATE INDIA
FROM BRITISH CONTROL, MANY HEROIC INDIAN INDEPENDENCE
WARRIORS GAVE THEIR LIVES. BHAGAT SINGH AND CHANDRASHEKHAR
AZAD WERE BOTH KILLED AT A YOUNG AGE. THERE WERE ALSO MANY
FEMALE FREEDOM FIGHTERS WHO CAME OUT OF THEIR HOMES TO JOIN
THE STRUGGLE. FINALLY, GANDHIJI CHOSE THE ROAD OF NONVIOLENCE
AND TRUTH TO LIBERATE INDIA FROM THE TYRANNY OF THE BRITISH.
THE NONVIOLENT CAMPAIGN LED BY BAPU’S SUCCEEDED IN FORCING
THE BRITISH TO LEAVE INDIA, AND THE DAY THEY LEFT IS
COMMEMORATED AS INDEPENDENCE DAY.
 INDEPENDENCE DAY
WE MUST CONSTANTLY APPRECIATE AND PRESERVE THE FREEDOM
THAT WE HAVE AS A RESULT OF THAT GREAT LEADER. IT IS NEVER
ACCEPTABLE TO ABUSE ONE’S FREEDOM IN ORDER TO HARM
ANOTHER BEING. IT IS ALSO NECESSARY TO WORK HARD IN ORDER
TO MAKE INDIA A PROGRESSIVE AND DEVELOPED COUNTRY.
INDEPENDENCE DAY IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AND
CELEBRATED EVENTS IN THE WORLD. IT IS THE DAY WHEN PEOPLE
IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY GATHER IN HUGE NUMBERS TO EXPRESS
THEIR LOVE AND RESPECT FOR THE COUNTRY. THE PEOPLE OF
INDIA CELEBRATE THE DAY BY ORGANIZING VARIOUS PROGRAMS,
LIKE A FIREWORK DISPLAY, CULTURAL PROGRAMS, AND A
PROCESSION OF THE NATIONAL FLAG.
