And here's some information on India's Independence day!-
The British who came for trade in India occupied the entire country and started ruling the country. They used India as the land of raw material to supply industries in Britain. They forced the farmers of India to grow cash crops such as Indigo instead of food crops and because of this Indians didn’t have food to eat. People were asked to pay high taxes.The British destroyed the Indian cloth mills by making brighter and colorful cloths and selling it back to the Indians at a very low price thereby destroying the local cloth industry.
The army was forced to use the Enfield rifle and the bullets of this rifle were made from the cow and pig fats.Hindus worshiped cow as gods and Muslims had rumors on pigs so they didn't like to use this rifle.As such the army people started Sipoy Mutiny in 1857 under the leadership of Mangal Pandey and here onwards the freedom movement started in India and continued up to 1947.
