Independence Day 2023: India will celebrate its 77th Independence Day on the 15th of August, commemorating 76 years of cherished freedom. This day marks the liberty of our nation from foreign invaders.

The theme of Indian Independence Day 2023 is 'Nation First, Always First', a part of the grand “Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav” initiative.
