Independence
Day, observed annually on 15 August, is a national holiday in India
commemorating the nation's independence from British rule on 15 August
1947.
India
attained freedom following an independence movement noted for largely
nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience led by the Indian
National Congress (INC).
Independence coincided with the partition
of India, in which the British Indian Empire was divided along
religious lines into the Dominions of India and Pakistan; the
partition was accompanied by violent riots and mass casualties.
The
Independence Day of India is much more than commemorating the
anniversary of India’s free statehood. It is a moment of celebration, a
day to pay tribute to the martyrs because of whose struggle and
sacrifice we are breathing an air of freedom. “At the stroke of the
midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and
freedom,” said Jawaharlal Nehru about this, one of the most important
days in the history of the Indian nation. Independence Day is
acknowledged as a national holiday in India.
Independence Day Celebrations
Independence Day, one of the three national holidays in India (the
other two being the Republic Day on 26 January and Mahatma Gandhi's
birthday on 2 October), is observed in all Indian states and union
territories. On the eve of Independence Day, the President of India
delivers the "Address to the Nation".
On 15 August, the prime minister hoists the Indian flag on the ramparts
of the historical site Red Fort in Delhi. Twenty-one gun shots are
fired in honor of the solemn occasion. In his speech, the prime
minister highlights the past year's achievements, raises important
issues and calls for further development. He pays tribute to the
leaders of the freedom struggle.
The Indian national anthem, "Jana Gana Mana" is sung. The speech is
followed by march past of divisions of the Indian Army and paramilitary
forces. Parades and pageants showcase scenes from the freedom struggle
and India's diverse cultural traditions. Similar events take place in
state capitals where the Chief Ministers of individual states unfurl
the national flag, followed by parades and pageants.
Flag hoisting ceremonies and cultural programmes take place in
governmental and non-governmental institutions throughout the country.
Schools and colleges conduct flag hoisting ceremonies and cultural
events. Major government buildings are often adorned with strings of
lights. In Delhi and some other cities, kite flying adds to the
occasion.
National flags of different sizes are used abundantly to symbolise
allegiance to the country. Citizens adorn their clothing, wristbands,
cars, household accessories with replicas of the tri-colour. Over a
period of time, the celebration has changed emphasis from nationalism
to a broader celebration of all things India.
The Indian diaspora celebrates Independence Day around the world with
parades and pageants, particularly in regions with higher
concentrations of Indian immigrants. In some locations, such as New
York and other US cities, 15 August has become "India Day" among the
diaspora and the local populace. Pageants celebrate "India Day" either
on 15 August or an adjoining weekend day.

songs in Hindi and regional languages are broadcast on television and
radio channels. They are also played alongside flag hoisting
ceremonies. Patriotic films are broadcast. Over the decades, according
to The Times of India, the number of such films broadcast has
decreased as channels report that audiences are over saturated with
patriotic films.
The population cohort that belong to the Generation Next often combine
nationalism with popular culture during the celebrations. This mixture
is exemplified by outfits and savouries dyed with the tricolor and
designer garments that represent India's various cultural traditions.
offer Independence Day sales promotions. Some news reports have decried the commercialism.
Indian Postal Service publishes commemorative stamps depicting
independence movement leaders, nationalistic themes and defence-related
themes on 15 August.Independence and partition inspired literary and
other artistic creations in many languages. Such creations mostly
describe the human cost of partition, limiting the holiday to a small
part of their narrative.
Salman Rushdie's novel Midnight's Children (1980), which won the Booker
Prize and the Booker of Bookers, wove its narrative around children
born at midnight of 14–15 August 1947 with magical abilities. Freedom
at Midnight (1975) is a non-fiction work by Larry Collins and Dominique
Lapierre that chronicled the events surrounding the first
Independence Day celebrations in 1947.
Few films center on the moment of independence, instead highlighting the
circumstances of partition and its aftermath.On the Internet, Google

its Indian homepage.
European traders had established outposts on the Indian subcontinent by
the 17th century. Through overwhelming military strength, the British
East India company subdued local kingdoms and established themselves
as the dominant force by the 18th century.
Following the Rebellion of 1857, the Government of India Act 1858 led
the British Crown to assume direct control of India. In the decades
following, civic society gradually emerged across India, most notably
the Indian National Congress, formed in 1885.
The period after World War I was marked by British reforms such as the
Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms, but it also witnessed the enactment of the
repressive Rowlatt Act and calls for self-rule by Indian activists.
The discontent of this period crystallized into nationwide non-violent
movements of non-cooperation and civil disobedience, led by Mohandas
Karamchand Gandhi.
During the 1930s, reform was gradually legislated by the British;
Congress won victories in the resulting elections. The next decade was
beset with political turmoil: Indian participation in World War II, the
Congress's final push for non-cooperation, and an upsurge of Muslim
nationalism led by the All-India Muslim League. The escalating
political tension was capped by Independence in 1947. The jubilation
was tempered by the bloody partition of the subcontinent into India
and Pakistan.
