The day of August 15 holds great significance for India, it is the day when the country was liberated from decades of British rule in 1947. Celebrated as a national festival, the day is celebrated with diverse events throughout the country, filling the atmosphere with patriotic fervour. However, few people know that along with India, 3 other countries also celebrate their Independence Day on this day. Each of whom is celebrating their own hard-earned freedom.
South Korea:-
Beyond its current stature as a global superpower, South Korea has also endured a period of subjugation. Like India, South Korea also got rid of the chains of oppression. It got independence from Japan on August 15, 1945, just two years before India's independence.
Bahrain:-
The grip of British power spread to different corners of the world, including Bahrain. Freed from British rule, Bahrain declared its independence on August 15, 1971. Britain's dominance spanned decades in several countries, including both India and Bahrain.
Congo:-
France, which is a major world power today, once held the Congo in its colonial grip. Thirteen years after India's own freedom struggle, Congo gained independence from British rule on August 15, 1960, which underlined the shared importance of this date in the history of liberation.
