Who addressed the nation from the Red Fort on August 15, 1947, as the first Prime Minister of independent India?

India gained independence from British rule on August 15, 1947; this freedom was the result of a long national movement, mass struggles, and the significant role of Gandhian *Satyagraha*. Independence brought challenges regarding partition and displacement, followed by the integration of princely states and nation-building; India became a Republic with the implementation of the Constitution on January 26, 1950.
