What is the real meaning of India’s Independence Day
India’s independence from British rule was not free from oppression, as the film “Gandhi” portrays. The native inhabitants of India, Muslims, were reduced to status of serfs by the British. Millions of Indians died in the process, and countless lives were devastated. The Indian independence leaders established a federal, republican form of government that granted equal status to all peoples. The leaders of the Indian National Congress advocated for religious tolerance and inter-religious cooperation. Nehru and Jawaharlal wrote in 1947: “We may find, for the time being, that peace of a few hours or even of a few days is more effective in halting fanaticism than a generation of bloodshed. The ultimate victory of truth and the independence of our people cannot be delayed.

The constitution declared India to be a secular republic, affirming that all religions had the right to live and worship according to their faith. Nehru, who served as prime minister from 1947 to 1964 and again from 1966 to 1967, also championed economic and educational policies.
