The origin of the Independence Day dates back to the year 1947 when the dream of the country’s people turned into a reality. This was a victory against the British colonial rule that had laid its roots in the country in the year 17th century and by the 18th century they had established a strong dominance over the country. The first revolt of Independence was led in the year 1857 by Mangal Pandey. Several activists like Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Subhash Chandra Bose and various other brave and selfless men and women gave their life for the freedom of the country. The Indian National Congress was formed in the year 1885 and from the there movement of civil disobedience be it violent or non-violent was led by the activists which after decades and decades made it possible for the Indians to breathe the fresh air of freedom.
