Question

2. India gained independence from Japanese rule on 15th August, 1948 ​

Answer 1

For almost 200 years the British controlled India. It started out with the East India Company from about 1765. In 1857 there was a countrywide revolt which, which failed to shake off the English rule but transferred the power from the company to the crown. Only after continued pressure and new leaders did the British finally grant India it's Independence in 1947.Unfortunately the country was split into two as it was given it's freedom. However Pakistan celebrates it's Independence Day on 14th August while India considers 15th August it's Independence Day.

In 1947, the UK Parliament passed the Indian Independence Act and transferred legislative sovereignty to the Indian Constituent Assembly. Despite this King George VI remained India's head of the state until it fully transitioned to a republican constitution.
