Indians got freedom on 15th August 1947, and people of India had to do a lot of struggle to achieve this freedom.
Indian freedom struggle is a great story, and people should recite it to every individual to make every Indian proud of the struggle that people did for the independence of India.
The new generation doesn’t know the struggle that Indians did for the freedom that they got. A detailed discussion on the above topic is here below.
Meaning of The Struggle
By struggle, we don’t mean the struggle of current days. The struggle of current days and the struggle of old days have a great difference. Nowadays struggle for people is having to wake up early or to study all night or to walk five km a day because of financial conditions etc. But the actual struggle was to stay foodless for days, people didn’t use to drink water for days, and there weren’t many vehicles available at that time, so people had to walk 100s of km to reach their destination. People had to fight with the Englishman to snatch the independence. One’s grandfather or a grandmother can tell him about what is a real struggle that people did before India’s independence.
Importance of The Struggle
