75 Years of India’s Independence Special: All You Need to Know About “Azadi Ka Amrut Mahotsav”

This year, India will commemorate the country’s 75th anniversary of independence. This year’s celebrations will mark 75 Years of Thoughts, 75 Years of Achievements, 75 Years of Action, and 75 Years of Resolution, all of which will motivate us to continue working toward the realisation of India’s aspirations for independence.

India‘s independence from British rule was not an easy nut to crack. After 200 years of the British government, India finally achieved independence through the blood, sweat, and tears of millions of its bravest and most tenacious leaders. India at long last awoke to “life and independence” on August 15, 1947.

Jawaharlal Nehru said, “Long ago, we had a tryst with destiny, and now comes when we shall fulfil our commitment. Not completely or fully, but considerably, we will do so.” The Indian government has started an “Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav” initiative to celebrate its independence as the largest democracy in the world turns 75.

The Indian government has launched this initiative to recognise and honour 75 years of progress in India and the illustrious past of its people, culture, and accomplishments. This Mahotsav is dedicated to the people of India who have not only played a significant role in the evolution of India to this point but also possess the strength and capacity to realise the vision of enabling India 2.0, fueled by the spirit of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
