Answer:
The last Viceroy of India, Mountbatten was the reason behind choosing August 15 as the Independence Day. He was bestowed with powers and mandate by the British parliament to pass on the powers to the Indians by June 30, 1948. ... Thus, this day was of symbolic significance for the Britishers
However, August 15, 1947 was declared by the Britishers the day of end of British rule. To this end, Mountbatten had said that he was ensuring that there will be no bloodshed or riot. ... The Act clearly mentioned the date of independence, August 15, 1947.
One of the greatest myths, first propagated by the Indian Congress Party in 1947 upon receiving the transfer of power from the British, and then by court historians, is that India received its independence as a result of Mahatma Gandhi's non-violence movement.
