On the eve of Independence Day, the Indian President will address the country. In Delhi, the Indian Prime Minister will attend the flag-hoisting ceremony and also address the nation at the Red Fort. Cultural programs and events are held at both the state and national levels. Artists will capture this opportunity to exhibit their hidden talent and get recognised and awarded. In some places, the families of freedom fighters are honored on Independence Day.

History of India Independence Day
India was under the control of British rule for more than 200 years. The country desperately wanted to attain the freedom from foreign rulers.

In 1857, against the law of British East India Company, the very first crusade occurred. Later on, the campaign for India's freedom was summoned by several names, including Indian Mutiny, Revolt of 1857, Great Rebellion and India's First War of Independence.

The role of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was crucial in attaining independence from British. He was followed by many freedom fighters across the nation. Jawaharlal Nehru became the first Prime Minister of India post-independence.
