Independence Day 2023: The countdown to August 15, 2023 has started. India’s 77th anniversary of independence will be celebrated with ardour and enthusiasm across the entire country as the nation celebrates the freedom with patriotism in their heart. “Nation First, Always First” is the theme for this year. The programmes nationwide will be celebrated keeping this theme in mind.
India was freed from 200 years of British domination on August 15, 1947. Every citizen of this nation is filled with pride on this day, and always. The day honours the sacrifices made by our country’s liberation fighters. Their tenacity and bravery made it possible for us all to be freed from the British Raj.
Everywhere in the nation, people celebrate this day by raising the National Flag at their individual residences, local shops, the streets are decorated as the tricolour ripples and we remember the great heroes of our nation who gave up their lives to liberate us. At the Red Fort in Delhi, the Prime Minister of India hoists the flag as well. Everyone then sings the national anthem. Additionally, flag-hoisting rituals and cultural events are held in offices, colleges, and schools to mark the occasion.
