-TERMINAL OF THE THRALL
The Indian Independence Bill, which carves the independent nations of India and Pakistan comes into force at the stroke of midnight on August 14, 1947.

"At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom"The Tryst with Destiny:
A famous speech that hailed the country's decades-long, non-violent campaign against British rule by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of independent India.
PATHS OF FREEDOM LAID BY MAHATMA
Midst the 1920s: Mahatma Gandhi was established as the leader of the Indian independence movement. His belief in civil rights and non-violent struggle inspired a generation.
Passive-resistance campaigns against Britain’s oppressive rule in India.
With the aim of self-governance and obtaining full independence,
The Indian National Congress withdraw its support for British reforms following the Rowlatt Act of 21 March 1919, and the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 13 April 1919.
The March was intended to protest against the nefarious provisions of the Salt Tax imposed by the British. The long 241-mile trek finally ended on April 5, 1930.
Non-cooperation movement (1920–22)
The Indian National Congress withdraw its support for British reforms following the Rowlatt Act of 21 March 1919, and the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 13 April 1919.
Salt Satyagraha (1930)
(Dandi March)
Bapuji was arrested and the march was not a success.
Quit India Movement (1942)
Britain, leading the fight against Nazism in the Second World War alongside 2.5 million Indian troops, promised to grant India independence after the war. Following the Battle of Britain, Gandhi said he would not push for India's self-rule out of the ashes of a destroyed Britain.
THE TRIGGER :
However, by the end of the war and with its empire weakened, Britain was unable to resist the overwhelming demand for independence.
Both Congress and the Muslim League, led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, dominated elections.
Further, Clement Attlee, by now Britain's prime minister, was a supporter of independence.
In a climate of growing communal tensions and pressure from Jinnah, who argued that Muslims should have their own state, the Mountbatten Plan was hastily conceived. It divided British India along broad religious lines. The problem being that there were millions of Muslims living in what would become Hindu-majority India and huge numbers of Hindus and Sikhs living in what would be Muslim-majority Pakistan.
THE CELEBRATIONS :
The two countries celebrate on different days because Lord Mountbatten, the viceroy of British India, had to attend the Pakistan celebration on August 14th and then travel to Delhi for India's first independence day on August 15.
