The phrase is composed of ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ meaning independence and ದಿನಾಚರಣೆ meaning celebration or observance of a day.
Did you know?
- Kannada uses the word ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ for independence, which shares its root with the Sanskrit word svatantra, meaning 'self-governing' or 'one's own system'.
- If you were to speak about 'freedom' as an abstract quality rather than a political state, you might use the word ಮುಕ್ತಿ (liberation/salvation) instead.
- While ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ ದಿನಾಚರಣೆ refers to the holiday, the act of hoisting the national flag is specifically called ಧ್ವಜಾರೋಹಣ, which literally means 'raising the flag'.
