Every Indian person is proud of the 15th of August since it commemorates India’s Independence Day. This day is an ode to our forefathers’ sacrifices and hurdles in breaking free from the shackles of the British Empire.
In 1947, Indians fought with determination and bravery to emerge triumphant and obtain independence from British domination. This year, India will celebrate its 76th anniversary of independence with joy, pride, and happiness.
This day is observed by people in schools, universities, and other social gatherings where the Indian Tricolor flag is raised, and people are standing solemnly with respect and shouting the Indian anthem with pride in their eyes. Every year, a grand march is conducted in which military members and professionals do various acts to demonstrate the liveliness of Indian culture.
Every year, the Prime Minister and President of India deliver remarks and hoist the Indian flag in the famous Red Fort.
When is Indian Independence Day observed?
On August 15th, Indian Independence Day is usually observed. It is India’s National Day. This public holiday, sometimes known as ‘I-Day,’ commemorates the date in 1947 when India gained independence. This holiday is a dry day in India, which means that alcohol sales are not permitted.
The Indian Prime Minister will raise the tricolor at Red Fort on this day before addressing the country from the ramparts. The flag is hoisted on Independence Day, which entails keeping it folded somewhere near the center of the flagpole before raising it to the top and unfolding it.
India’s Republic Day, which falls on January 26, is the country’s other public holiday. On this day, the president of India raises the national flag on Rajpath before officiating a parade showcasing the country’s strength in arms and cultural diversity. The tricolor is just unfurled on this day; it is not hoisted.
Although there is only a slight distinction between the two ceremonies, it has enormous significance. The raising of the flag denotes the emergence of a new nation, unencumbered by colonial rule. On Republic Day, however, the flag is already atop the flagpole, signifying that it is the banner of a free country. The saffron, white, and green horizontal tricolor serve as the Indian national flag.
On August 15, 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru, the country’s first prime minister, raised the flag at the Lahore Gate of the Red Fort in Delhi after the flag’s approval on July 22nd, 1947. This marked the flag’s presentation to the Indian nation.
Saffron is a color that stands for bravery, giving, and renunciation. The colors white and green represent life, faith, and valor, respectively. The wheel represents continuous motion and advancement.
