Why did India got independence on 15 August 1947?
The British empire was very reluctant at first as they didn't want to leave but because of several noticeable events forced them to think otherwise. People were angry, they were fed up with all the partiality being done, all the massacres that took place. Netaji Shubhash Chandra Bose led an army to attack the colonial rule whilst Mahatma Gandhi led several non-violence and non- cooperation movements that were truly remarkable. After all this pressure, King George IV decided to hand India the Independence that it deserved. However, he was still the head of state until the day of 15th August 1947.

Which country does not celebrate Independence Day?
Although the extremist had their own way of handling The Colonial Rule, Mahatma Gandhi had other beliefs. He believed In Christianity and Hindu beliefs, as non-violence was his main motive throughout the freedom struggle. He conducted the non-cooperation movement by boycotting British items and people, conducted civil disobedience movement which became increasingly popular and a large chunk of people joined to provide support. It was clear that this was the most efficient way to show anger against the empire, Gandhi and his followers urged people from all states to create such movements and step up to the British. This was the pivotal time when the empire set the nation free.

On the 15th of August 2019, India will celebrate its 73rd Independence Day. People will come together and will see the nation in its full glory yet again.
