India celebrates Independence Day on 15 August every year to mark its freedom from nearly 200 years of British rule. The struggle for independence was long and intense, involving both armed resistance and non-violent movements. Leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Subhas Chandra Bose, and countless others played crucial roles. Key milestones included the 1857 revolt, the Non-Cooperation Movement, Civil Disobedience, and the Quit India Movement. Finally, on 15 August 1947, India became a free nation, though the Partition created India and Pakistan, leading to mass displacement and communal violence. At midnight, Prime Minister Nehru delivered the historic “Tryst with Destiny” speech, heralding a new dawn.
