Answers
The Correct Answer is Option...
D. It was the second anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II
Explanation:
Lord Mountbatten was given time till 30 June 1948 to grant India independence on behalf of the British Emperor, but Mountbatten was pressurized to give India early freedom in view of the immediate circumstances of that time, so Mountbatten chose the date of August 15, 1947 for it. .
Lord Mountbatten was considered the lucky date of 15 August for him. Therefore, he chose August 15 to give independence to India. Lord Mountbatten also considered the day of August 15 to be special because on this day in 1945, during World War II, Japan laid down arms against the British Army.
A glorious memory of Mountbatten was associated with this date. On this day, the long-running war in the forests of Burma came to an end and the Japanese Empire surrendered unconditionally. What else could have been a better date for Mountbatten than the second anniversary of Japan's surrender to the birth of a new democratic Nation.
