One of the largest democracies in the world, India will celebrate its 74th Independence Day on 15th of August, 2020. This day marks the historic occasion when the country finally broke the shackles of oppression and gained independence from the British empire in the year 1947.
The British rule was established in India through East India Company in the year 1757 and the Company exercised control over India for 100 years. The fight for ‘Aazadi’ (freedom) from the British Raj truly began with the Indian Revolt of 1987, which is also known as the Indian Mutiny. The British played the trick of “divide and rule policy” as slowly, India came under direct British rule as the Britishers gradually strengthened their hold over the nation.
Hence, Independence Day is celebrated with utmost fervour, zest and a spirit of patriotism to mark the innumerable sacrifices of the freedom fighters of India and honour the fact that we are living in a free India. Throughout the country, flag-raising ceremonies are conducted and special programs are hosted, focusing on honouring the freedom fighters.
On the morning of 15 August, the prime minister of India unfurls the national flag at a ceremony at the Red Fort monument in Old Delhi, which is followed by the recitation of Jana Gana Mana (the national anthem of India). The prime minister receives a grand salute from the guard of honour at his arrival and the main event begins after the hoisting of the Tiranga. The prime minister then delivers a televised address to the country. The celebrations of 15 August have also become synonymous with kite filing across the nation.
As the global crisis lingers on, the Ministry of Health Affairs has issued a guideline to ensure that the Independence Day celebrations are done keeping in mind the precautionary measures against the pandemic. However, don’t let the pandemic dampen your spirits of patriotism. As we celebrate our 74th Independence Day this year, we are sharing top 50 wishes, quotes and messages which you can send to your friends and family to mark this historic occasion. Wishing you a Happy Independence Day 2020!
