Freedom isn’t just political, it’s intellectual. This #IndependenceDay, let’s break the chains of colonial lies and reclaim Bharat’s true history.

India’s Independence was not decided overnight. Every day before 15 August 1947 carried decisions, resignations, betrayals and turning points that changed history forever.
We begin on 1 August 1947, when Gandhi reached Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan was returned to Maharaja Hari Singh, Sarat Chandra Bose resigned from the Congress, and violence intensified across Punjab and Bengal. Watch Episode 1 of #Those15Days.

13 days before 15 August 1947.
The map of India was still uncertain. As Nehru prepared to lead independent India, Sardar Patel raced to unite the princely states. Bhopal reached out to Jinnah, Nagaland's Independence League rejected joining India, and Savarkar blamed Congress's appeasement policies for Partition. Episode 2 of #Those15Days revisits another decisive day before Independence.
