British rule in India began in 1757 and ruled for 100 years, after which we came under the direct rule of the British, which we called "British raj". Indian sepoy mutiny that happened in 1857-58 spiralled into a nationwide revolution during the second world war and this, under the efficient leadership of Gandhi, finally succeeded in liberating Indians out of the clutches of the oppresive colonial rule. Independence Day 2022: History And Significance What started as a joint stock company with an officially declared name, the British East India Company took over Indian administration gradually and established itself at the helm of Indian political affairs. The British firstly, forced their culture down the throat of unsuspecting Indian populace and as a result, the Indian society experienced a superimposition of western culture and traditions over its traditional mindset. So. It soon led to loss of cultural and political identity for Indians. Common men rose in revolt against the British in spurts and bounds, but it was the battle of Plassey that spread like wildfire, and finally defeated the nefarious political intentions of the British in 1947. The barbaric customs like Sati were abolished due to the unrelenting efforts of social reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy It took several years for the Indian government to bring down poverty, illiteracy, child marriage, dowry, and bribe to at least a certain level although some of these problems still exist in our social system.

Independence Day is a day to pay tribute and remember all the freedom fighters who fought for the Independence of the country. On August 15, 1947, India was declared independent from the British colonialism of more than 200 years. The struggle for freedom of India from the British rule lasted for over 90 years from 1857 to 1947, witnessing the sacrifices of many brave hearts who laid down their lives for the freedom of their country and people. The Independence Day celebration is marked throughout the country with Indian flag-hosting ceremonies, drills, and the singing of the Indian national anthem. To free the nation from the shackles of the British Raj, several freedom fighters went through unimaginable pain and sacrificed their lives for the freedom of India. Some of the greatest freedom fighters that our nation has ever witnessed include (but are not limited to) Neta Ji Subash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Mangal Pandey, Mahatma Gandhi, Rani LakshiBai, Sarojini Naidu, Chandra Shekhar Azad and Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. They displayed immense courage and bravery and revolted against the British empire to demand freedom for their beloved nation. The non-violent and civil disobedience movement led by Matama Gandhi along with other fighters of India constrained the British to leave India. As the global crisis lingers on, the Ministry of Health Affairs has issued a guideline to ensure that the Independence Day celebrations are done keeping in mind the precautionary measures again...

The celebrations began with enslaved people in Galveston, Texas. Although President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves in 1863, it could not be enforced in many places in the South until the Civil War ended in 1865. Even then, some white people who had profited from their unpaid labor were reluctant to share the news. Granger delivered General Order No. 3, which said: “The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor.” FILE - In this June 17, 2021, file photo, President Joe Biden hands a pen to Rep.
