Happy Independence Day 2025: Independence Day, celebrated every year on August 15, is one of the most important milestones in India's history. It was the end of nearly 200 years of British colonial rule and the birth of an independent and sovereign nation in 1947. The day is historically and emotionally significant as it commemorates the sacrifices, struggles and indomitable determination of countless freedom fighters who tirelessly fought for India's independence.
Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Subhas Chandra Bose and many other leaders led movements based on non-violent resistance, civil disobedience and unanimous national unity.
On the midnight of August 14-15, 1947, India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru hoisted the national flag from Delhi's Red Fort and delivered his iconic "meeting with destiny" speech, symbolizing hope and a new beginning for the nation. Independence Day is more than just a historic event; it is a celebration of democracy, freedom and the values enshrined in India's Constitution.
The Prime Minister hoists the national flag at the Red Fort every Independence Day and delivers a speech to the nation. Flag hoisting ceremonies are also held in schools, offices and communities, followed by cultural programmes. Though it may seem like a mere formality, the tradition began with Jawaharlal Nehru in 1947 and continues to this day. The Red Fort itself is symbolic; it was from here that the Mughal emperors ruled, making it a fitting place to usher in a new era of self-rule. In many neighbourhoods, flag hoisting is less about courtesy and more about creating a shared moment, where neighbours gather, elders share stories of the pre-independence struggle and children feel an unspoken pride in hoisting the flag. It is a national holiday and schools and many offices are closed.
