India is ready to celebrate the 79th day of independence on Friday this year. On this day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi develops the National Flag in Red Fort in Nový Delhí.
It will be 12. A consecutive address of PM Modi into the ground and his second from returning to power after the third consecutive term.
India reached independence from the British colonial government on August 15, 1947 for more than two centuries, in which several revolutionaries laid a life for the freedom of the country.
Among the few revolutionaries include Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Nejeji Subhash Chandra Bose, Sukhdev, Rajguru and others.
However, India is not the only country to celebrate its independence on August 15.
Here’s a list of 5 countries that share their independence day with India:
Korea (North and South): Liberation from Japan
North and South Korea celebrate 15 August as “GwangBokjeol” or the day of liberation. It is the day in 1945, when the Japanese occupation ended after 35 years.
Bahrain:
On August 15, 1971, Bahrain declared independence from Britain after the UN survey confirmed the will of IT people. On this day, however, they do not sweeten independence and do it on December 16, because it is called the late Emir Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa’s rise to the throne, Economic Times said.
Congo Republic:
One part of the French equatorial Africa was acquired by the Congo Republic on France on 15 August 1960.
Lichtenstein:
For Liechtenstein, August 15 is not independence, but they celebrate it as an official national day. National Day was selected in 1940 by combining two events: the holiday of the assumption of Marie (the main Catholic holiday) and the birthday of Prince Franz Joseph II. On this day, citizens gather in the capital of Vaduz to attend festivities near the royal castle.
