SHORT HISTORY OF INDIPENDENCE DAY
India became
an independent nation following the famous non-violence resistance and civil
disobedience movement initiated by the Indian National Congress and carried out
nation wide. With the Hindu and Muslim community always at odds and violence
and riots breaking out, the British leaders finally decided to relieve India
from their clasps in June 1948. However, the viceroy after having decided to
withdraw and bring an end to the British Raj in India decided to move up the
proceeding after seeing the state and the uncontrollable chaos, riots and
upheaval in India and the continuous demands for a separate Muslim state.
Struggle for
Independence in IndiaIn June 1947, Muslim
League and the Congress Party decided
to partition India along religious lines. Thus, on the 14th of August, Punjab
was divided and a new separate nation, Pakistan was born. On 15th August, 1947,
Jawaharlal Nehru read out his famous speech “Tryst with Destiny” at midnight
announcing India was a free nation. The British had finally retreated and India
was reborn as a free and independent nation. Jawaharlal Nehru, one of the most
eminent freedom fighters who India owes her Independence to, was sworn the
first Prime Minister of independent, free India.
On 15 August 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru,
who had become the first Prime Minister of India that day, raised
the Indian national flag above the Lahori Gate of the Red Fort in Delhi.
On each subsequent Independence Day, the prime minister has raised the
flag and given a speech.
