This year on August 15, India is going to celebrate its 78th Independence Day. Our country became independent from the British on August 15, 1947. Several brave leaders of India lost their lives in the freedom struggle. From Shaheed Bhagat Singh to Chandrashekhar Azad, many patriots sacrificed their lives in the freedom struggle. Even today, when August 15 is celebrated, our mind gets drenched in patriotism. If you also want to be painted in the colour of patriotism, then do not forget to visit these places on Independence Day 2024.
