When I was young Independence day was just a cultural activists' day or a holiday for me. But as I grew I acknowledge that Independence Day is one of the most important day of the year for our country.
Remember it's not just a holiday August 15 is the day when we achieved our freedom and our rights to rule our own country.
Each year on August 15 we celebrate Independence Day because on this date India became an independent nation, which means we were free to rule ourselves and were not ruled by anyone else.
For hundreds of years, India was ruled by the United Kingdom and our nation was a part of the British Empire.
The British dominated a lot of the world and India was one of its many colonies. Before they came, India was made up of many kingdoms. After being ruled by them for years, the mutual feelings toward foreign rule brought the country together.
United, the people of the nation struggled to free itself from British rule for many years. We officially became independent on 15 August 1947. To mark this historic event, we celebrate our independence on 15th August every year.
So it's not just a holiday, it's the day where we Honour every single soul who fought for this homeland and gave our freedom back to us.
