India observes its Independence Day on august 15 each year. On this day, the people honour and remember the freedom warriors and the sacrifices they made. On august 15, 1947, british control over india, which had lasted 200 years, came to an end. This day is notable because it marked the beginning of India's autonomous transition from arduous british rule to its independence as a democratic sovereign state. On this day, the Tricolour is flown at homes and establishments all around the country, and the national song is sung. There is confusion and a doubt in people's minds as to whether the nation is commemorating its 76th or 77th Independence Day amid all the joy and celebration.
India attained independence on august 15, 1947, and the PIB projects that it will commemorate its 77th Independence Day in 2023. Since the first anniversary was observed in 1948, which is a year after the actual year, this year may be regarded as the 76th anniversary of indian Independence. india will therefore commemorate its 76th anniversary of Independence Day and 77th Independence Day in 2023. The "Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav" celebration's "Nation First, Always First" theme is the theme for this year's Independence Day. Numerous events and festivities are planned both before and on august 15.
