Every year on 15th August, Indians across the globe unite to honor the day when India broke free from centuries of colonial rule. In 2025, we mark the 78th anniversary of this monumental moment—a day of pride, gratitude, and reflection.
🕰 The Historic Day – 15 August 1947
On this day in 1947, the tricolor was hoisted for the first time at the Red Fort by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Prime Minister. His iconic “Tryst with Destiny” speech captured the emotions of a nation stepping into the light of freedom after nearly 200 years of British rule.
