Happy Independence Day 2023: A day to celebrate India’s freedom from the 200-year-long British Raj, Independence Day is celebrated on August 15 of each year. It is a day to honour all those who died as martyrs or made supreme sacrifices for the Freedom Movement, which secured the freedom of every Indian in existence today. On August 15 also coincides with the erstwhile India being partitioned into Pakistan, India, and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).
On the occasion of its 77th Independence Day, India will pay tribute to the many men and women who gave their lives to pave the way for progress. However, the Northeastern independence fighters' contribution to the history of the war against the British has not been given the credit it deserves.
