Good Morning Everyone!
Every year on 15 August, Independence Day is celebrated as a national holiday in India when people remember the long phase of our nation's independence from British rule. On August 15, 1947, India gained independence after a series of movements in which many freedom fighters sacrificed their lives. After independence, on 15 August 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru became the first Indian Prime Minister to raise the National Flag at the Red Fort near Delhi's Lahore Gate. By unfurling the National Flag and singing the National Anthem, students, teachers, parents and other individuals come together to celebrate Independence Day. The Indian prime minister in the national capital New Delhi, at Red Fort, also hosts our National Flag. After that, the salute is given by firing 21 guns and a helicopter showers tricolour flowers on the flag. The colours in our flag represent different things; saffron signifies courage and sacrifice, white signifies peace and truth, green signifies faith and chivalry. In the centre of our flag, there is an Ashok chakra that contains 24 evenly distributed spikes. We recall the great sacrifices of Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Raj Guru, Gandhiji and other daring freedom fighters on this special day for their unforgettable contribution to India's independence.
Jai Hind!
