India's Independence Day Traditions and Jawaharlal Nehru's Role at Red Fort
India's Independence Day celebrations center on the Red Fort in Delhi, where the Prime Minister hoists the national flag and addresses the nation annually. Jawaharlal Nehru, independent India's first Prime Minister, was the first to hoist the Tricolour at the Red Fort, with his initial speech there delivered on August 16, 1947. This ceremony has since become a key national tradition symbolizing India's freedom struggle and ongoing nation-building efforts, with successive leaders continuing the practice.
