Independence Day is celebrated on 15th August every year, the day India attained freedom from about 200 years of British colonial rule. This special day is not just a celebration of the past but it upholds the spirit of liberty and democracy for the years to come and instigates patriotic fervor in every Indian’s heart and mind. The theme or slogan for the 78th Indian Independence Day 2024 was ‘Viksit Bharat,’ which aligns with the government’s vision of transforming India into a Developed Nation by 2047, coinciding with the 100th year of Independence.
