The Indian Independence Act 1947

The Indian Independence Act of 1947 was a significant moment in the history of the Indian subcontinent. It brought about the creation of two new states, India and Pakistan, by transferring legislative control from the British Government to the Indian constituent assembly. Despite its name, the Act was actually passed by the parliament of the United Kingdom and received Royal assent on July 18, 1947. The Act allowed for the partition of Bengal and Punjab and established the offices of the Governor-General in India and Pakistan as representatives of the British Government. Moreover, both nations were given full legislative power, and princely states were given the choice to join either India or Pakistan. Nevertheless, it was later repealed on January 26, 1950, when the Constitution of India took precedence.

How is Independence Day Celebrated?

Independence Day is a grand celebration in India that is hard to miss. The preparations begin days before the 15th of August, and the buzz that surrounds the day is electrifying. Government offices, buildings, and landmarks are adorned with the national colors, while shops are stocked with tricolor clothes, flags, souvenirs, and other items used in decorating the streets and homes.

On this day, the national flag takes center stage as patriotic songs fill the airwaves – from metro stations to schools, government offices, and even homes. It is a day marked with a whirlwind of activities, including the screening of patriotic films and documentaries on almost all TV channels.

There are several practices worth observing on Independence Day. The incumbent prime minister receives a 21-gun salute from the Indian armed forces at the Red Fort and hoists the tricolor. The highlight moment of the day is the independence day parade, where all three armed forces display their abilities and capabilities. The prime minister addresses the nation, highlighting the country’s journey since independence and its future roadmap.

Political leaders are invited to different flag-hoisting events, where they inspire the gathering on the feeling of nationhood. Chief ministers of states, governors, leaders of the opposition, MPs, MLAs, and other people of influence address the public on Independence Day.

Since it is a national holiday, people spend Independence Day with their families. Most are excited about watching the independence day parade on Doordarshan followed by a spree of patriotic movies. It is a day that brings everyone together in celebration of India’s independence in a truly glorious fashion.
