• United States: July 4, known as Independence Day or the Fourth of July. It commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Typical observances include fireworks, parades, concerts, and family gatherings.

• India: August 15, Independence Day. It marks the transfer of legislative sovereignty to the Indian Constituent Assembly in 1947, following independence from British rule. It is a national holiday with flag-hoisting ceremonies and a prime minister’s address.
