August 15, 2025, will mark India’s 79th Independence Day, commemorating the moment in 1947 when the country gained freedom from British rule.

This date will again be observed with:

The Prime Minister hoisting the national flag at the Red Fort in New Delhi.

Cultural programs, parades, and patriotic performances across the nation.

Tributes to freedom fighters and leaders who contributed to India’s independence.

Given the significance of the number 79, it also symbolizes the approach to the 80th year of independence in 2026 — a milestone that will likely be celebrated with even greater grandeur.
