Every year, Independence Day is celebrated on August 15 to commemorate Indian independence and to recognise the efforts of our freedom fighters who valiantly fought against British rule. On this day, people across the nation hold cultural events, participate in parades and flag-hoisting activities. So, ahead of the special occasion, let's take a look at how the citizens of the country are gearing up for the celebrations.
