The Indian Independence Act 1947 was ruled on 15 August 1947 by the United Kingdom (UK) parliament. The judicial sovereignty was transmitted to the Indian Constituent Assembly. King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II, continued to head the state until the transmission of the country to a complete Republican Constitutions had been finished. India struggled hard to attain the freedom from British administration under the flagship of Mahatma Gandhi, who is today recognised as the 'Father of the Nation.'

India was under the control of British rule for more than 2 hundred years. The country desperately wanted to attain the freedom from foreign rulers. In 1857, against the law of British East India Company, the very first crusade occurred. Later on, the campaign for India's freedom was summoned by several names, including Indian Mutiny, Revolt of 1857, Great Rebellion and India's First War of Independence. The role of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was crucial in attaining independence from British. He was followed by many freedom fighters across the nation. Jawaharlal Nehru became the first Prime Minister of India post-independence.
