Happy Independence Day 2021: why is Independence Day celebrated on August 15, know the reason
15 August is celebrated as Independence Day in India. The rule of the British Empire came to an end on this day from India which had been under British occupation for a long time and India became an independent nation. Lord Mountbatten was instructed by the British Parliament after World War II to transfer power to the Indians by June 30, 1948. Many Indian freedom fighters and politicians believed that it was not possible to wait till June 1948. Chakravarti Rajagopalachari, who played a key role in the Indian freedom struggle, had said that if he waited till June 1948, the transfer would be difficult. Therefore, Lord Mountbatten changed the date of change of power to August, 1947.

The Indian Independence Bill was introduced in the British House of Commons on July 4, 1947 and passed in two weeks and eventually became a law. It brought an end to British rule in India on August 15, 1947, through the creation of the Dominions of India and Pakistan. Since then, August 15 is celebrated as India's Independence Day. This year will be celebrated as the 75th Independence Day of the country.
