The Independence Day of India, celebrated on 15 August, is a holiday commemorating India's independence from the British rule and its birth as a sovereign nation on 15 August 1947. India achieved independence following the Indian independence movement noted for largely peaceful nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience led by the Indian National Congress. The independence coincided with the partition of India wherein the British Indian Empire was divided along religious lines into two new statesDominion of India (later Republic of India) and Dominion of Pakistan (later Islamic Republic of Pakistan); the partition was stricken with violent communal riots.

In the 1929 La session of Indian National Congress, the Purna Swaraj declaration, or Declaration of the Independence of India was promulgated,[12] and 26 January was declared as India's Independence Day.[12] The Congress called people to take pledge on that day until India attained complete independence from the Great Britain.[13] Between 1930 and 1947, 26 January was observed as the Independence Day of India, and carried symbolic value to the Congress.[14][15] Following the actual independence in 1947, the Constitution of India came into effect on and from 26 January 1950; since then 26 January is celebrated as the Republic Day.

Flag hoisting ceremonies and cultural programmes take place in government and non-government institutions in the country.[18] Schools and colleges conduct flag hoisting ceremonies and various cultural events within their premises. Major government buildings are often adorned with strings of light.[19] In some cities, such as Delhi, kite flying is a celebratory event associated with the Independence Day.[16][20] National flags of different sizes are used abundantly by the rejoicing residents to symbolise their allegiance to the country.[21] Citizens adorn their cloths, wristbands, cars, household accessories with replicas of the tri-colour.[21] Newspapers have reported a trend that the celebration pattern has changed from a nationalistic one to a more relaxed, festive one, where friends and family bond and make merry.[22][23] The Indian diaspora celebrates the Independence Day in various parts of the world, particularly in regions with high concentration of non-resident Indians, with parades and pageants.[24] In some locations,[which?] such as several cities in the United States, 15 August has received the nomenclature India Day among the diaspora and the local populace.[25]
