India got its independence from the clutches of British rule on 15th August 1947 and is a Red Letter Day in the history of India. In 1947, our country becomes free from the long imprisonment of the British rule. Since 1947 every year with great joy and pride we celebrate independence day. It reminds us of attainment of freedom from British rule. The main function is held at Red fort where the prime minister of India raises the flag and delivers his speech to the nation. The national flag raises on all government offices.
In history of Independence Day,Lord Mountbatten announced the partitioning of the British Empire into an India and Pakistan, on 3rd June, under Independence Day, India act 1947, at the stroke of midnight 1947, India became an independent nation, which was preceded by Pandit Jawaharlal Lal Nehru's spine chiller speech titled try get with destiny.
It went as "At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds ulterence.We end today a period of ill, fortune and Indian discovers herself again"
"Ask not what your country can
do for u. Ask what you can do for your
country".
John F. Kennedy
