To make Independence Day for kids meaningful, tell them the story of India’s struggle for independence. Narrate tales of brave freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Rani Laxmi Bai, Subhash Chandra Bose, and Mahatma Gandhi, who dedicated their lives to the cause of freedom.

The Day Mother Raised The Flag: On August 15, at the stroke of midnight, the Indian flag replaced the Union Jack of the British Empire. And millions of Indians went to sleep in a state of excitement. For, they would literally wake up in a free country. Among them was a five-year-old girl called Amrita Rangasami.
