August 15, 1947, the most
important day in the history of India, the day when the long
suppressed nation found utterance, it was the day when India got
independence from the British rule. The stroke of the midnight brought
with it a ray of new hope for India, as our first Prime Minister,
Jawaharlal Nehru said, the world was asleep but India awoke to life
and freedom. A new nation was born! Since then August 15 is celebrated
as the independence day in India every year.
History of Independence
The struggle for Indian independence began with the colonialization of
India by Europeans. They came to India as traders but over the period
of time they rose to power took control of Indian affairs. British
occupied most parts of India whereas Portuguese and French also had
their influence on few places The first uprising which is noted in the
history of independence of India took place in 1857. This first war of
Indian independence, was termed as a mutiny by the British. Although
not a success, this revolt sowed the seed for a new force, which was
to take this struggle to its rightful end. As British oppression
strengthened so did the urge to attain the freedom from it.
Independence Day Celebrations
Celebrated all across the nation with great enthusiasm, the day is
marked with the Indian flag hoisting ceremony at Red Fort and Prime
Minister's address to the nation. All the state buildings and
structures of national importance are adorned with 'Tricolor'. In the
evening , sky is dotted with hundreds of colorful kites symbolizing
the freedom. The soaring kites in the sky also signify the soaring
dreams of independent India which wants to attain great heights and
give the message that sky is the limit. |
