Independence Day 2024: This day is celebrated by raising the national flag and singing the national anthem.
India achieved freedom from the British colonial rulers after a long struggle on 15th August 1947. On this day, we remember the freedom fighters who fought for the independence of our country. Various prominent buildings in the country are illuminated in the colours of the flag. Every year, this is marked by hoisting the national flag and singing the national anthem. People organise cultural programmes and seminars to pay tribute to the freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of India.
Will India celebrate 77th or 78th Independence Day in 2024?
The debate revolves around two assumptions: can the day be counted from August 15, 1947, the day India gained independence, or from the day the country celebrated its first anniversary a year later?
India will be celebrating its 78th Independence anniversary if we count from the day of Independence. However, since August 15, 1948, it is the 77th Independence Day.
The Press Information Bureau stated that August 15, 2022 was being celebrated as the 76th Independence Day. According to the calendar used by our government, this year will be India's 78th Independence Day.
