Freedom is a basic right and needs for all. But due to British Rule, we all suffered for many painful long years to get this. We Indians were kept in a prison environment in their own Country, demanding for the Purna Swarajya, complete freedom. Many legends came forward and raised their voice, demanding complete freedom. Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekar Aazad, Mahatma Gandhi. Subhash Chandra Bose and many freedom fighters. These Legends led a base and started the revolution in their own way.
Gandhiji started many movements, like Dandi March, Disobedience Movement and followed “Ahimsa” and used this as his deadly weapon, but on the other hand, Subhash Chandra Bose followed another striking technique and gave an energetic slogan “Tm Mujhe Khoon Do, Mai Tmhe Azadi Doonga” and initiated its own army named “Azad Hind Fauj.”
Many more freedom fighters came into existence and fought for the Country against the British raj. After struggling so much and fighting for years, we lost many Legends. But finally, their blood and sacrifice paid the result. India got freedom from the British Rules On 15 August 1947.
Dr. BR Ambedkar was appointed as the Head of the Drafting Commission of the Indian Constitution, also known as the creator of the Indian Constitution. On 26 January 1950, we got our Constitution, and it came into effect.
Every year, we Indian Celebrate Republic Day on 26 January to witness our freedom. And to pay tribute to all the sacrifices made by all the freedom fighters, who gifted the new generation a free India, a smiling India.
This year, on 26 January 2022, Tuesday, we all will witness our 70th Republic day, and celebrated by all the Indians, with great energy and enthusiasm.
