The Independence Day reminds every Indian of the beginning of a new era, the start of a new life free from bondage and slavery. It is for the same reason that Independence Day is given so much importance and celebrated in a very grand manner across the country. The 15th of August, 1947 marked the end of British colonialism and the dawn of the democratic republic. The Indian Independence Bill, which was a vital part of the journey to freedom, was passed by the British Parliament. It was Jawaharlal Nehru who declared India’s independence and swore in as the first Prime Minister of India.

It was with the constant and determined years of non-violent efforts of the freedom fighters that India got its independence. Independence Day is remembered and celebrated religiously across India as the citizens commemorate the struggle for freedom.
