How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
August 15th through history
Midnight in Delhi, and a tryst with destiny
India became independent at midnight on 14 and August 15th 1947, and Jawaharlal Nehru told the Constituent Assembly that ‘long years ago we made a tryst with destiny’. The boundary between India and the new state of Pakistan had been drawn in about five weeks by Cyril Radcliffe, a London barrister who had never previously set foot in the country, and its details were not published until the 17th.
What followed the partition was the largest migration in modern history. Some fifteen million people moved between the two new states, and enormous numbers died in the violence that accompanied it. Both anniversaries, Indian and Pakistani, are national days; the third fact is commemorated by neither.
In Britain August 15th 1945 was VJ Day, marked with a two-day holiday, bonfires and crowds in Whitehall. It closed a war that had run fourteen weeks longer in the Far East than in Europe.
Napoleon Bonaparte, the French military leader who made himself emperor, was born on August 15th 1769 in Corsica, Sir Walter Scott, the novelist and poet, two years later in Edinburgh, and the Princess Royal, Princess Anne, in 1950.
Born on August 15th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Napoleon Bonaparte and Princess Anne — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Leo — a Fire sign ruled by the Sun, symbolised by the Lion.
Birthstone
traditionally Sardonyx, or Peridot or Spinel in the modern list for August.
Birth flower
Gladiolus (primary), also Poppy — most commonly cited sources agree on gladiolus as the main August flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.
Gift ideas for a August 15th birthday
A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — sardonyx for the stone, Leo for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
