HISTORY OF INDIAN INDEPENDENCE DAY
Indian independence day 2022: On August 15, 1947, India had achieved independence after years of struggle.

On this Indian independence day,

it ceased to be a colonial nation and secured full autonomy from the British that ruled over it for years. The day holds great significance in the heart of every Indian citizen living in India and abroad.

On August 15, 2022, India would have achieved 74 years of freedom. As such, this year marks the 76th Independence Day of the country.

While it is a celebratory annual occasion and a national holiday,

wherein people hoist the national flag, wear colours signifying the tricolour, take part in many games and cultural programmes.

It also coincides with the Partition of the country that brings back painful memories,

given that India was severed on communal grounds, much to the dismay of many national leaders and ordinary citizens.
