On 15th of August 1947 the plan put forward by the last viceroy of British
India, Lord Mountbatten known as Mountbatten plan was accepted by
both the Congress and the Muslim league. Immediately, the enactment
of India’s independent Act (1947), ended the British rule and India
became an independent and sovereign state. Since then
the Independence Day is celebrated throughout India on 15th August
every year as a national holiday to honour the birth of world’s biggest
democracy.
Independence Day holds a significant place in every Indian citizen’s
lives and people from every corner of India, irrespective of their colour,
creed, caste or religion celebrate this day with complete zeal and vigour.
This day is also celebrated to commemorate and to pay homage to all
the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for India’s struggle for freedom.
