Independence Day is celebrated in India with great enthusiasm every year. This year, India is marking its 75th year of Independence. The day honors the struggle of our freedom fighters and celebrates the commendable victory over the British rule.
On August 15, 1947, India’s first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru hoisted the national flag at the Lahori Gate of Red Fort in New Delhi. Since then the flag hoisting ceremony is practiced every year.
