Mauritius Day
Mauritius Day is celebrated every year on March 12. This national holiday is a time to commemorate the country's independence from Britain in 1968 and its transition to a republic in 1992.
Mauritius Day is celebrated with a colourful parade, including a military parade with the national anthem. The flag-hoisting ceremony is also part of the celebrations.
The history of Mauritius Day dates back to 1959, when British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan gave his famous 'Winds of Change' speech, outlining the British government's intention to grant independence to many of its overseas colonies, including Mauritius. This led to an increasing call for self-rule in Mauritius, and the 1966 elections resulted in a victory for an alliance of the Mauritius Labour Party and other self-rule parties.
On March 12, 1968, Mauritius was proclaimed a constitutional monarchy, with Queen Elizabeth II remaining head of state. Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam also became the country's first Prime Minister. Twenty-four years later, on March 12, 1992, Mauritius was proclaimed as a republic within the British Commonwealth.
