India is gearing up to celebrate its 78th Independence Day, a momentous occasion marked by patriotic fervour and national pride. This year’s celebrations, set against the backdrop of a vibrant and evolving India, offer a chance to reflect on the country's journey from colonial rule to its current stature as a global player. India gained its independence from British colonial rule on August 15, 1947. The day is marked by honouring the sacrifices made by our freedom fighters, hoisting the national flag and singing ‘Jana Gana Mana.’ Several organisations and institutes celebrate the day by organising parades, marches past, drills and others. You can also celebrate the day by sharing heartfelt wishes and greetings.

Independence Day is a celebration of the end of colonial rule and an opportunity to honour the ideals of democracy, secularism, and unity that underpin the Indian Republic. Since the first Independence Day, the Prime Minister of India has hoisted the national flag at Red Fort. Similarly, this year, PM Narendra Modi will hoist the Tiranga at Red Fort. Share patriotic fervour and unity by sharing Independence Day wishes, greetings, free India WhatsApp messages, quotes, slogans, HD images, and wallpapers.
