Lord Mountbatten had been given a mandate by the British Parliament to transfer the power by June 30, 1948. Since then, Indian history has been marked by several retaliations and independence movements that eventually drove the British out of the country. The British rule led to widespread resentment and revolts in the country. The East India Company ruled India for 100 years after which it was replaced by direct British rule in the wake of the Indian rebellion of 1857. India suffered oppression by British colonisers for 200 years as they took control over the country in 1757, following their victory at the Battle of Plassey. This year, as the country celebrates its 75th Independence day, let us take a look at its history and significance. Since then, every year, August 15 is celebrated with much fervour throughout the country with flag-hoisting ceremonies, drills, cultural events, and the singing of the Indian National Anthem.
