The struggle started in 1857 – a fight for freedom and the Indian National Congress in 20th century under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi started Independence movement and soon the colonial powers were transferred to India. Soon, the celebration started at 11 pm on August 14, 1947 and India gained its freedom at the midnight. Hence, Independence Day marks the start of new era where India took more than 200 years to acquire its right and liberty.The day is celebrated with great fervour across every state of the country, with the capital city Delhi becoming the hub of all celebrations.
