Independent India
Independent India refers to the period after August 15, 1947, when India gained freedom from British colonial rule. This transition marked the end of nearly two centuries of British dominance, allowing India to establish its own government, laws, and policies. The country adopted a democratic system, aimed to promote equality, development, and social justice. This era also involved integrating diverse regions and cultures into a unified nation, addressing challenges like poverty, inequality, and nationalism. Independence allowed India to shape its future based on its unique identity and aspirations, moving towards progress as a sovereign nation.
