Every year, March 12 is observed as Mauritius Independence Day which celebrates the anniversary of the country gaining independence from British rule.
Mauritius has been under the control of the French, Dutch and Britishers but on 12 March 1968, after gaining independence from the Britishers, it finally became a free country.
The date of 12 March was chosen to coincide with Mahatma Gandhi’s Salt March which occurred on 12 March 1930.
