The reason behind choosing August 15 as India's Independence Day
As per the book 'Freedom at Midnight', Lord Mountbatten, who served as the final Viceroy of India, picked August 15 for Independence Day during a press event on the spot. He chose this specific date because it marked two years since Japan declared its surrender during the Second World War. It is worth noting that the Japanese surrender was officially shared by Emperor Hirohito in a radio address on August 15, 1945.
