It was at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, when India finally attained freedom from the British Raj for over 200 years. And so, in memory of this historic event, India's Independence Day is celebrated on August 15 every year. It's a day when Indians remember the selfless sacrifices of countless Indians and the freedom fighters who lead them. On August 15, 1947, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru- the first Prime Minister of India, hoisted the Indian national flag at Lahori Gate, Red Fort in Delhi. And since then, every year the Prime Minister of India hoists the flag at the Red Fort and gives a speech to the citizens. This is a day when the citizens of the country come together as one and celebrate the day with great enthusiasm and fervor by organizing cultural programs in schools, colleges, and public places. This is a day when patriotism is in the air and we are united and proud to be Indians.
As we celebrate India's 77th Independence Day this August, here we list down some best quotes, slogans, and captions which you can post on social media or share with your friends and family. We also share some interesting poster drawing ideas for children. Read on to know more.
