INDIAN INDEPENDENCE
ABOUT INDIAN INDEPENDENCE:
By 1940, the British policy of divide and rule had led to the demand of a separate state made up of areas where Muslims were the majority. Around the same time, the quit India movement also gathered momentum. The British responded by imprisoning National Congress leaders and other freedom fighters.
In 1946 the Viceroy appointed an interim cabinet with Jawaharlal Nehru as prime minister. But by then the leader of Muslim League, M A Jinnah had declared a 'day of action' on 16 August 1946. The declaration led to unprecedented violence between Hindus and Muslims in Calcutta. Soon after, Viceroy Mountbatten agreed to the formation of Pakistan and Bangladesh. India became independent on 15th August 1947.
But violence broke out in areas having mixed populations of Muslims and Hindus. Almost half a million people died in the ensuing violence.
In 1950, the new constitution came into force and India became a secular state. Prime minister Nehru made the economy a 'mixed economy' of some state owned industry and some private enterprise.
The struggle for independence was a long and arduous one. Scores of lives were lost to free the country. After independence, India has consolidated its place as the largest democracy in the world with a thriving economy and a robust political domain.
ABOUT 15TH AUGUST:
After more than two hundred years of British rule, India finally won backs its freedom on 15th August, 1947. All the patriotic hearts rejoiced at seeing India becoming a sovereign nation and the triumph of hundreds and thousands of martyred souls. It was a birth of a new nation and a new beginning. The only fact that marred the happiness of the fruits by the blood of martyrs was the fact that the country was divided into India and Pakistan and the violent communal riots took away a number of lives. It was on the eve of 15th of August, 1947 that India tricolor flag was unfurled by Jawahar Lal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, on the ramparts the Red Fort of Delhi.
The day is celebrated to commemorate the birth of the world's biggest democracy as a national holiday. Schools and people hoist the national flag through out the country and put them up on the rooftops and the buildings. People only go to offices to attend the flag hoisting ceremony. The Prime Minister addresses the Nation after the flag has been unfurled recounting the country's achievements of the year, discussing current major issues and future plans for the progress of the country. Recently, kite-flying has become a tradition on this day and people can be seen flying numerous kites of all colors, sizes and shapes symbolizing the freedom.
