    Happy Independence DayAgencies
    Independence Day is a proud day for all Indian citizens and it commemorates India's fight for freedom. It is a day wherein we pay homage to those that fought bravely for our freedom from the British Empire. On that day, the 1947 Independence Act was enacted, wherein India's legislative sovereignty was transferred to the Indian Constituent Assembly. This year marks India's 75th Independence Day and is celebrated with pride and joy across the nation.
