INDEPENDENCE DAY

Independence Day is marked with the hoisting of the tricolour or tiranga, parades, cultural events, and citizens singing patriotic songs. On August 15, 1947, the first prime minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, raised the Indian national flag above the Lahori Gate of Red Fort in Delhi. It is a tradition that has since been followed by every Prime Minister with an address to the country.
