On 15th August, India religiously celebrates Independence Day all across the country. This day holds tremendous significance in the nation's history since it marks the end of the long and exhausting struggle for freedom, the sacrifices of countless freedom fighters, the establishment of a self-reliant and independent nation, and the ultimate beginning of an era of salvation from the grips of British colonialism of nearly 200 years.

It was on 15th August 1947 when the British withdrew from the country and the controls were passed on to the leaders of the Country. India's independence crusade was indeed a tryst with destiny as addressed by Jawaharlal Nehru, the then Prime minister, in his famous midnight speech.
