We all know that our country was liberated on August 15, 1947, and all of us Indians are very proud of this freedom. Like every year, we will hoist the flag on August 15 this year and will come home singing 2-4 patriotic songs. Our freedom is due to the freedom fighters of India who sacrificed their lives to liberate our country. We cannot give anything to these great personalities in return, but at least we can remember them on this day of independence, we can know about them.
In the Indian freedom struggle, the names of such heroes are written in golden letters, which started the fight against the British on their own. There were also brave warriors in our country, who abandoned everything in their youth and plunged into the freedom struggle of the country. Today our India is free from the British, but corruption, unemployment, dishonesty has made it a hostage. For this, we have to bring a revolution for independence, and once again the youth power of our country will have to be awakened. Today we will learn about our freedom fighters of India and how they had awakened the public awareness and revolution for the independence of the country.
