Conclusion:
We are living happily and safe under the roof only because of the people who fought for the freedom and independence of India. Otherwise, we might have been working and slaving for the British people. Mahatma Gandhi, who is the father of the nation, is one of the main pillars for getting freedom. Many people have actively participated in the Quit India movement and at many places like Uttar Pradesh, Agra, Delhi etc and finally got their freedom in 1947 August 15.
