15 August 2022 is a momentous occasion for India and its populace. India became an independent country, free from the British who ruled us from 1858 to 1947, prior to which we were ruled by the British-owned East Indian Company from 1757 to 1857.

The Sepoy Mutiny or the Indian rebellion of 1857 was our first struggle for independence. Freedom fighters of our country fought for independence and finally freed our nation from British rule. Although Indians were seething with discontent at the colonial rule of the British, the revolution soon gained momentum.

It was Mahatma Gandhi's dedicated efforts and his passive resistance campaigns and the work of other prominent and not-so-known freedom fighters that finally led us to achieve our well-deserved freedom and independence. The Indian sepoys did not tolerate the ethnic and cultural differences between them and the British officials above them.

This was a primary trigger though. Politically, it was the callous indifference of the British officers towards Indian rulers that was secondarily responsible for the final revolt that led to Independent India.

India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru hoisted the tricolour - the national flag from the Red Fort in Delhi at midnight on 15 August 1947.

The year 2022 marks India's 76th Independence Day. It will be celebrated in a grand manner. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address to the nation from Red Fort will be the highlight along with the Independence Day Parade.
