why Independence Day is celebrated only on 15th August.
In the year 1947, the country got independence on 15th
August. Many freedom fighters sacrificed their blood in the liberation achieved
after suffering the atrocities of the British for nearly 200 years. In such a
situation, this day is very important for every Indian. People remember the
unparalleled sacrifice and sacrifice made by the fighters on Independence Day.
Getting freedom from British slavery was no less than a
challenge for India, but with the tireless efforts and determination of
Indians, the country became independent. Full legislative powers were conferred
on the Indian Legislative Assembly on August 15, 1947. Freedom fighters left
the country for new generations without taking care of themselves and their
families.
The British rulers did not want to be independent on
this day: It is said that the British had sent Lord Mountbatten to India as the
Viceroy. He had received an order from the British Parliament to announce the
transfer of power to India on June 30, 1948. However, later India's last
Governor General C. Rajagopali pressured Mountbatten to declare India's
independence on 15 August 1947.
How Independence Day is celebrated: On the anniversary
of independence, people pay tribute to the brave sacrificers and remember their
sacrifices. The Prime Minister hoists the tricolor and also addresses the
nation. On this day kite flying is also prevalent in many places. At the same
time, people also celebrate the happiness of independence by eating jalebi.
Why do we celebrate
Independence Day only on 15th August, what was the reason for choosing this
date?
Independence Day 2021:
Independence Day is celebrated on 15 August every
year in the country. 15th August 1947 This is the day when we got independence.
Let us tell you that freedom was found at midnight. We celebrate this day of
independence only on 15th August, know what is the interesting story behind it.
Why do we celebrate independence on this day, why was this day chosen to give
freedom.
Earlier from 1930 to 1947, 26 January was
celebrated as Independence Day in India. Its decision was taken in the Indian
National Congress session held in the year 1929, which was held in Lahore. In
this session, India declared Purna Swaraj. After this announcement, Indian
citizens were requested by the Indian National Congress for the Civil Disobedience
Movement, as well as to follow the orders in time till the complete
independence of India.
At that time India was ruled by Lord Mountbatten.
Mountbatten had personally fixed 15 August for the independence of India, it is
said that he considered this day very fortunate for his tenure. The second
special reason behind this was that during the Second World War, on August 15,
1945, the Japanese army surrendered to Britain under his leadership.
Mountbatten was then the commander of the allied
armies of all countries. This was decided in the meeting held in the context of
independence and partition on the date of 3 June, which was planned by Lord
Mountbatten. When the day of independence was decided in the plan of 3 June, it
was announced publicly, then there was outrage among the astrologers across the
country because according to the astrological calculations, the day of 15
August 1947 was inauspicious and inauspicious. Other dates were also suggested
as alternatives but Mountbatten stuck to the date August 15, which was a
special date for him. Solving the last problem, the astrologers found a middle
way.
