Independence Day is celebrated on August 15 every year to commemorate the sacrifices made by our freedom fighters to free India from the clutches of British rule. The day is observed as a national holiday and events like flag hoisting ceremonies, kite flying competitions, drills, speeches, etc are held across the country.
On the occasion of 75th Independence Day this year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will give his annual address to the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort in the presence of the Indian athletes who won at the Tokyo Olympics 2020.
Indian athletes won seven medals at the recently concluded international sporting event-a gold, two silver and four bronze medals.
