The East India Company ruled India for 100 years until it was replaced by direct British rule (often referred to as the British raj) in the aftermath of the Indian Mutiny in 1857-58. The Indian independence movement began during World War I and was led by Mohandas K. Gandhi, who advocated for a peaceful and nonviolent end to British rule.
India’s Independence Day History
On August 15, 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru declared India’s independence and was sworn in as the country’s first Prime Minister. The Indian Independence Bill was passed by the British House of Commons on July 4, 1947, and it was passed within a fortnight. This was an important part of the process that led to India’s victory. Freedom fighters and patriots such as Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Rani Lakshmi Bai, and many others inspired the common people to fight for independence.
The Importance of India’s Independence Day
This day is dedicated to all those who gave their lives, minds, bodies, and souls to free India. Countless lives were lost, and many were tortured, but India rose as a free country with great determination and faith. On August 15, 1947, India’s tricolour flag was hoisted above the Lahori Gate of the Red Fort in Delhi. Every year to this day, the Prime Minister hoists the flag and commemorates the occasion in Delhi, India’s capital. Following the Prime Minister’s address to the nation, a military parade is held, which is broadcast live across the country. In addition, the President gives a speech.

Raksha Bandhan 2022
“The special occasion of Raksha Bandhan is here. It’s an opportunity to embrace sibling love and cherish the bond. India as a whole celebrates it with great enthusiasm. Raksha Bandhan is made more enjoyable by lovely rakhis, homemade sweets, presents, and puja. Any Hindu festival is incomplete without religious rituals. In Raksha, Bandhan prayers are offered to god and then sisters worship their brothers and tie rakhis on their wrists while chanting the Raksha Mantra. It brings positivity and eliminates all the negative energies from his life. (Also read: Raksha Bandhan 2022: Make your festival eco-friendly with these edible rakhis)”
Raksha Bandhan falls on August 11 this year. However, the Hindu calendar allows it to be celebrated on two dates: August 11 and August 12. It is observed on the full moon day of the Shravan month’s Shukla Paksha, also known as Shravan Poornima or Kjari Poonam. The full moon date of Shukla Paksha in the month of Shravan will begin at 10.38 a.m. on Thursday, August 11. Purnima Tithi will last till 7:05 am on Friday, August 12. The auspicious timings for the day are as follows:
Purnima Tithi begins on Thursday, August 11 at 10:38 a.m.
Purnima Tithi ends at 07:05 am on Friday, August 12.
Bhadra Time starts at 10:38 am on Thursday, August 11.
Bhadra The clock strikes 8:51 p.m. on Thursday, August 11.
Shubh Muhurat for Rakhi is between 08:51 pm to 09:12 pm on Thursday, August 11.
Astrologers say that since August 12 will also be Purnima Tithi, Rakhi can be tied at any time on that day. So, August 12 can be used to celebrate the event. On August 11, anyone who wishes to tie a rakhi can do so, but after Bhadra time. The following is the Shubh Muhurat for Rakhi on August 12:
On Friday, August 12, Abhijeet Muhurat will begin at 11:59 a.m. and end at 12:52 p.m.
On Friday, August 12, Shubh Choghadiya will be open from 12:52 p.m. to 02:05 p.m.
Rakhi tying, gift-giving, and aarti are just a few of the lovely customs that accompany Raksha Bandhan. This is the time of year when families come together and bonds are strengthened. The best aspect of Hindu festivals is that they bring the entire family together under one roof.
In addition to the family, the festival is frequently observed by cousins and other distant relatives. The festival brings together people from various ethnic and religious backgrounds, transcends biological family boundaries, and emphasises love and harmony through ritual. That is why Raksha Bandhan is so lovely.
