When was the independence day observed by indians during british period?

Independence Day was not officially observed by Indians during the British period, as India was still under colonial rule until 1947. However, various movements and protests for independence took place, with significant events like the Indian National Congress's Declaration of Independence on August 8, 1942, during the Quit India Movement. The actual independence day is celebrated on August 15, 1947, marking the end of British rule in India.
