Ambedkar made selfless contributions that characterized the path. Grand ceremonies, speeches, national anthems, exercises, traditional dances, and contests are all part of India's Independence Day celebrations. The most spectacular celebration is held in the nation's capital, New Delhi when the prime minister addresses the people on the eve of Independence Day.
