It was twelve o'clock at night. There is plenty left until dawn, while the whole country is holding hands and waiting for a new sun. That is exactly what happened one morning 74 years ago. At midnight, Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India, flew a tricolor from the Red Fort in Delhi.
That custom has been followed for seven decades at midnight on August 14. 15 means the day when millions of emotions become one. Well, the question does not arise in my mind, why this day was suddenly chosen as the day of independence? Let's walk back a little then.

Mountbatten was made clear by the British Parliament that the transfer of power had to be completed by June 1947. In this context, C. Rajagopalchari said that if he had waited till June 1947, Mountbatten would not have had to hand over any new power to anyone else.
Understanding the situation, Mountbatten himself brought forward a lot during the transfer of power. About a year.

You leave India a little ahead of schedule, but you do not give a fair explanation, what happens? Naturally, Mountbatten argued that a sudden declaration of independence would not lead to excessive bloodshed. Not at all. The death-killing procession could not be stopped. Immediately Mountbatten's statement changed. He said, “Once any colonial rule is over, it will have to pay the price, there will be a little bit of bloodshed.The 'India Independence Bill' was proposed on July 4, 1947. The pass is within fifteen days. And with this bill came the much desired freedom. 15 August 1947. India and Pakistan were separated from the British Empire. Isolated themselves.

The August 22, 1945, announcement from Tokyo Radio that Netaji perished in a plane crash on August 18 in then Japanese -occupied Formosa (Taiwan) had stunned Bengalis. The shock and disbelief still continues.

For half a century after the "crash", Bengal was frequently agog with speculation about Netaji's imminent return. Even one of Netaji's brothers Suresh Chandra Bose claimed in 1966 that the revolutionary would appear in public soon.

A large number of Bengalis eagerly waited for the the-day, but in the end were heartbroken when Netaji did not "appear".

Plays, stories, jatras (folk theatre) have been woven around the theme of "Netaji's return", and songs composed urging the legendary freedom fighter to surface in public. A large number of educated and not "so-educated" diehard followers of Netaji have burnt the midnight oil, penning books, pamphlets, research papers, reports, debunking the plane crash theory and seeking government steps to unearth what actually happened to him.source.
