Indian Independence refers to the end of British colonial rule in India, which was achieved on August 15, 1947. This momentous event marked the culmination of a long struggle for freedom led by various leaders, including Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. The movement was characterized by non-violent protests, civil disobedience, and a strong desire for self-governance. The independence of India not only transformed the nation but also inspired other countries in their quests for freedom. It led to the partition of India and Pakistan, creating significant social and political changes in the region. The legacy of this struggle continues to influence India's identity today.
