India is celebrating its 77th Independence Day on August 15. This annual commemoration celebrates the long journey that India set on to fight the atrocities of the British Raj and finally become a free country. At midnight, on August 15, 1947, India finally signed the Declaration of Independence to become a free nation. And every year, on August 15, we celebrate this by hoisting flags, distributing sweets, revisiting inspiring speeches and stories of the freedom struggle as well as singing hymns and songs that celebrate India.

Independence Day is a public holiday in India, just like Republic Day (January 26) - the day that the Constitution of India was implemented - making this country a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic. On 15 August 1947, the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, raised the Indian national flag above the Lahori Gate of the Red Fort in Delhi. On each subsequent Independence Day, the incumbent Prime Minister customarily raises the flag and gives an address to the nation. This annual speech and Independence Day parade is witnessed by millions of Indians.
