75 Years of India’s Independence: A Glorious Journey

Independence is something that makes you free from all types of restrictions and provides you the liberty to think and act freely. In world history, many countries were under the control of other countries and the same was with India.

But a remarkable day came and on 15th August 1947– ‘The unforgettable day’ in Indian History when India got independence from British rule. It marks the end of the British government and the establishment of a new and independent India.

Independence day is the historic and most important day for India. It is also a national holiday for taking out time to remember our freedom fighters who contributed and sacrificed their lives for the country. Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Dadabhai Naroji, and Rani Lakshmi Bai are a few names of the golden names who made remarkable contributions and are the reason why we all are here celebrating freedom.

We may never know how it feels like to live in a free country if it was not for the bravery of our fathers.

But unfortunately, this day is also marked as the anniversary of the partition of two nations that is India and Pakistan. The partition that took place nearly 75 years ago still makes people remember all the innocents’ deaths and chaos.

After being ruled by Britishers, India earned freedom after a long struggle of about 190 years. But after so many ups and down today India is considered one of the potential upcoming superpowers of the world. Now people of India are spread all over the world and contributing to different sectors.

World Knows India for its diverse culture and unity. And perhaps because of this unity and patriotism India recovered quickly to post-independence so as result it become the fastest-growing economy.

India’s 75th Independence Celebration

This year we are celebrating our 75th year of Independence. People organize flag-hoisting ceremonies, parades, March pasts, fireworks, and different cultural events.

The national anthem ‘Jana Gana Mana’ and other patriotic songs will be sung by people throughout India. This day is also celebrated in schools and colleges so that children & students should be aware of the greatness of this day.

On every 15th of August, our honorable Prime Minister hoists the Indian flag on the Red Fort in Delhi and also mentions past years’ achievements and raises important issues, and calls for further developments.

What India has achieved after Independence?

Who doesn’t like talking about their country’s achievements? As this special day is approaching I would like to point few of the things that my country has achieved in a short span post-independence.

India is the world’s biggest democracy. Now India has grown rapidly in all sectors after independence in a short period. India has several significant achievements and major milestones in nearly all sectors -infrastructure, trade, transport, defense, medical, education, nuclear – power, scientific research, etc.

India is also among the fastest growing economy with a GDP of 8.7% in 2021-2022. India transformed from a country where there was a shortage of food to becoming one of the leading agricultural producers in the world.

Apart from agriculture, we have also seen growth in other sectors. The government of India focuses more on the infrastructure and on the construction of national highways to make an easy journey and trade. India is also recognized globally for its scientific research and tests.

India has created, tested, and operationalized several missile systems. Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has done commendable work in space over the past few decades and is now counted among the most successful space agencies in the world. What even makes them unique is their approach to helping other counties in launching their satellites.

India is also called the pharmacy of the world because it is the largest provider of generic drugs in the world. And the country has proved this by sending millions of free vaccines to help other countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Indian pharmaceutical market is the world’s third-largest in terms of volume and thirteenth largest in terms of value.

India has always proved from time to time that it is always there to help its neighboring countries in difficult times, whether it’s Bangladesh in the past or currently Sri Lankan crisis.

These are some things that make me feel proud of my country. I know we’re not yet perfect, there’s so much worse too, and we have to cover a long path. Last year’s independence day I talked about a few things where we are still struggling for freedom. You can read it here –

But I also believe that our courage and dedication will make this happen soon.

If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.

Romain Rolland

May this Independence Day bring fortune and success for each and every one of us. May our country and this whole world see more progress in the coming years! Happy Independence Day!

Let’s celebrate freedom!
