In 2026, India will celebrate its 80th Independence Day. It's a proud moment for all of us.
The History Behind 15th August
The fight for independence was not easy. Countless freedom fighters like Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Subhash Chandra Bose, Jawaharlal Nehru, Rani Lakshmi Bai, and many more sacrificed their lives.
Their dream was to see a free India, and on 15th August 1947, that dream came true. On that midnight, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru gave his famous "Tryst with Destiny" speech.
