Independence Day 2018: History, Importance and Significance of Independence Day.

While India is celebrating its 72nd Independence Day this year, my today's video is all about the history of this legendary day and why it was chosen as the day of Independence.

On 15 August, the prime minister (PM. MODI) hoists the Indian flag on the ramparts of the historical site Red Fort in Delhi. Twenty-one gunshots are fired in honour of the solemn occasion.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hoist the Tricolour at the Red Fort on Wednesday. Following which he is scheduled to deliver a speech to the nation. This will be his fifth speech at the Red Fort since he became the Prime Minister.

Flag hoisting ceremonies and cultural programmes take place in governmental and non-governmental institutions throughout the country. Schools and colleges conduct flag hoisting ceremonies and cultural events.

Major government buildings are often adorned with strings of lights. In Delhi and some other cities, kite flying adds to the occasion.

National flags of different sizes are used abundantly to symbolise allegiance to the country. Citizens adorn their clothing, wristbands, cars, household accessories with replicas of the tri-colour.

Over a period of time, the celebration has changed the emphasis from nationalism to a broader celebration of all things India.

“At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom,” these were the words delivered by the first Prime Minister of Independent India, Jawaharlal Nehru on the night of August 15, 1947.

British rule in India began in 1757 when, following the British victory at the Battle of Plassey, the English East India Company began exercising control over the country.

The East India Company ruled India for 100 years, until it was replaced by the British crown in the wake of the Indian Mutiny in 1857–58.

In india people are celebrating by flying kites, couple of people have changed their facebook and whatsapp status to celebrate I-Day.
