People are in confusion
If you are also confused about the anniversary of Independence Day, then everything will be clear in this article. India got independence from British rule on 15 August 1947. Since then, every year this historic day is celebrated as India's Independence Day. Let us tell you, this is not the first time that such confusion has arisen in the minds of people. Let us know which Independence Day India is celebrating this year i.e. how many years have passed since we got independence from the British?
77th or 78th Independence Day?
The celebration of independence was started by the country's first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru by hoisting the tricolor at the Red Fort on 15 August 1947. If you are also confused about which Independence Day we are celebrating, then let us tell you that if we count from the actual date of independence (15 August 1947), then the first year of independence is remembered as the first Independence Day. In such a situation, this year India will complete 77 years of independence, so it will be considered as the 78th Independence Day.
