India attained Dominion Status on August 15, 1947. This status marked India's transition from being a colony under British rule to a self-governing, independent nation within the British Commonwealth. The Indian Independence Act of 1947, passed by the British Parliament, provided the legal framework for this transition. This act granted India the status of a dominion, which meant that it had full control over its domestic and foreign affairs, except in areas where it chose to remain associated with the British Crown. On that day, India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, raised the Indian flag above the Lahori Gate of the Red Fort in Delhi, marking the birth of independent India.
