India’s Independence Day is celebrated on August 15 as it is on this day the country got its freedom from the Britishers in 1947. Many sports events and activities are organised for celebrating the day across the country. One of the most common forms of celebrating the day includes kite flying.
Schools, residential complexes, universities organise a flag hoisting ceremony to pay their tributes to freedom fighters. However, due to the ongoing coronavirus situation, a lot of celebrations will not take place as people are advised to stay home and avoid gatherings.
