We could not have let this occasion slip and not put up a word. Today is India's Independence Day.
Well, the appropriate word is 'sovereign'. So when one says that on this day in 1947 - India regained its sovereignty - it means that India became an entity (a nation) that had supreme power. A nation that's supreme, preeminent, and indisputably independent of any other authority or monarchy.
That's sovereign for you - supreme, preeminent, having supreme authority.
