India is considered as one of the most influential countries in the world. As the second-fastest GDP in the world, India holds a special place in the world. It is only fair that their history holds water in the overall grand scheme of world history.
India was ruled by the British Raj for many centuries. It became free on August 15, 1947. From then, many leaders have fallen and many have arisen. This document is an attempt to remember our forefathers.
