India’s Independence

India’s independence, achieved on August 15, 1947, marked the end of British colonial rule after nearly two centuries. Fueled by decades of struggle, leaders like Mahatma Gandhi promoted nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience to challenge foreign domination. The movement united diverse communities, emphasizing national unity and self-rule. International pressure and the deteriorating impact of World War II also contributed. On independence day, India became a sovereign nation, establishing its own government and laws. This significant event symbolized the triumph of collective effort for freedom, shaping India into the democratic republic it is today.
