Celebrating 15th August Independence Day 2021
The British rule was established in India through East India Company in the year 1757 and the Company exercised control over India for 100 years. The fight for ‘Aazadi’ (freedom) from the British Raj truly began with the Indian Revolt of 1857 which is also known as the Indian Mutiny. The British played the trick of “divide and rule policy” as slowly, India came under direct British rule as the Britishers gradually strengthened their hold over the nation.To free the nation from the shackles of the British Raj, several freedom fighters went through unimaginable pain and sacrificed their lives for the freedom of India. Some of the greatest freedom fighters that our nation has ever witnessed include (but are not limited to) Neta Ji Subash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Mangal Pandey, Mahatma Gandhi, Rani LakshiBai, Sarojini Naidu, Chandra Shekhar Azad and Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. They displayed immense courage and bravery and revolted against the British empire to demand freedom for their beloved nation. The non-violent and civil disobedience movement led by Matama Gandhi along with other fighters of India constrained the British to leave India.
Hence, Independence Day is celebrated with utmost fervour, zest and a spirit of patriotism to mark the innumerable sacrifices of the freedom fighters of India and honour the fact that we are living in a free India. Throughout the country, flag-raising ceremonies are conducted and special programs are hosted, focusing on honouring the freedom fighters.
