Independence Day India 2019, 72nd Independence Day

Background India's freedom struggle begins from 1857, when there was a revolt in Meerut with soldiers. After this, the freedom struggle started under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi along with the Indian National Congress and political organizations in the 20th century.

How many fighters lost their lives behind this freedom? India thus became an independent country and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India, delivered his popular "Tryst with Destiny" speech.


After centuries of slavery, 15 August 1947 was freed. Earlier we were slaves of the British. All the Indians were stricken by their increasing atrocities and then the flame of rebellion erupted and many heroes of the country betrayed their lives, shot bullets and finally took peace only after attaining independence. Our country became independent on this day, so it is called Independence Day.

The people of India, united by the atrocities and inhuman treatment of the British, were determined to get rid of it. Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad spread the fire of revolution and sacrificed his life.

Later Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Gandhiji, Nehruji fought the battle of truth, non-violence and without arms. Staged Satyagraha, had sticks, went to jail many times and forced the British to leave our country. In this way, the day of August 15, 1947 became a 'golden day' for us. We, our country became independent.


The color of the symbol of Independence goes from Kanyakumari to Jammu Kashmir. Children and children are seen raising the tricolor flag in their hands and shouting slogans of Bharat Mata ki Jai. On this day, flag hoisting programs are held in schools, colleges, universities and in the corridors of power.

This will be our 72 Independence Day.

The flag was divided into three parts. It had saffron color at the top, white at the middle and green at the bottom. In the middle is replaced Ashoka Chakra which is navy blue color. On this, the symbol of the state emblem Ashoka emperor appears. Inside which is a circle of 24 matchsticks.

Independence Day is like a celebration for every nation. Rising above caste, religion, color and distinction in the color of patriotism, we remember our ancestors who sacrificed their lives fighting for our freedom. On August 15 itself, by breaking the chains of 200 years of slavery, we are presented to the world as a democratic country.

We have been celebrating this day since 1947 with great enthusiasm and happiness. On this day, the national flag is hoisted at all schools, government offices, the national anthem is sung and tribute is paid to all these great men, martyrs who have tried for freedom. Sweets are distributed.

This day also reminds us of our duties that in the same way that countless people sacrificed their lives for freedom, in the same way we also have to fight the enemies inside and outside the country and protect our country. This year, we will be celebrating the 73rd anniversary of independence on 15 August.

This day has historical significance. On remembering this day, the forehead automatically bowed with reverence to those martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the sacrifice of freedom.

Therefore, it is our solemn duty to protect our freedom. If the name of the country is bright in the world, do so. Become a seeker of progress of the country and not a hindrance.
