Zimbabwe Independence HistoryZimbabwe Independence commemorates the country's liberation from British colonial rule and its emergence as a sovereign nation. This day highlights the immense struggle, sacrifices, and countless lives lost by the people of Zimbabwe in the quest for self-determination and liberty. The day is observed in various ways, showcasing the rich cultural heritage, accomplishments, and aspirations of the Zimbabwean people. The road to Zimbabwe's independence commenced in the late 1890s with the arrival of the British South Africa Company, leading to the establishment of the colony known as Rhodesia. Following several years of sporadic conflicts and economic exploitation, the liberation struggle intensified during the 1960s under the leadership of nationalist parties. In India, historical ties between the people can be traced back to the period when the Indian government supported Zimbabwe's fight for autonomy through the Non-Aligned Movement. India was also among the first few countries to establish bilateral relations with Zimbabwe upon its independence. Commemorative events such as cultural exchange programs, seminars on the bilateral relationship, and informal gatherings among the Zimbabwean community are organized annually on this day around many cities across India. The Indian government and the media acknowledge the importance of this day, renewing the resolve to foster the bonds of friendship, mutual respect, and cooperation between the two nations.
