India’s Independence Day is a historical event celebrated each year on 15th of August to commemorate India’s liberation from the 200 year rule of the British. This day also marks the anniversary of undivided India’s partition into India and Pakistan.

India’s independence movement was advocated by Mahatma Gandhi who followed the path of non-violence and non-cooperation, leading to the Civil Disobedience Movement and finally rolled into India achieving sovereignty from the British rule. This day reminds all the citizens of India about the sacrifice the freedom fighters made and their selfless attitude to attain freedom from colonial rule.

The Indian constitution was set up by the Indian Constituent Assembly in 1946. The Indian Independence Act was signed on August 15, 1947 and was announced by the Britishers, the day of the end of British rule in India.

On Midnight of August 14-15, the British rule in India came to an end. The power was reassigned to the two new autonomous Dominions of India and Pakistan. Lord Mountbatten was the first to turn into governor-general of the new Dominion of India. Jawaharlal Nehru was declared as the first Prime Minister of Independent India. The Constituent Assembly that was established in 1946 turned into the Parliament of Indian Dominion.
