Mauritian Independence refers to the process through which Mauritius gained its freedom from British colonial rule. This significant event took place on March 12, 1968, after a series of constitutional reforms and negotiations. The push for independence was driven by various political movements and leaders, including Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, who played a crucial role in advocating for self-governance. Following independence, Mauritius became a republic in 1992, further solidifying its sovereignty. The nation has since developed a stable democracy and a growing economy, becoming known for its multicultural society and vibrant tourism industry.
