Indias Independence Day is celebrated on 15th August to commemorate its independence from british rules and its birth as a sovereign nation on that day in 1947.

The day is a national holiday in India, and is celebrated all over the country through flag-hoisting ceremony and distribution of sweets. the main celebration takes place in New Delhi..where the Prime Minister raises the national flag at the Red Fort and delivers a nationally televised speech from its ramparts.
