| - The Indian Independence Medal was instituted by the Dominion of India and approved by King George VI by way of a Royal Warrant dated 21 July 1948. It was a commemorative medal for service with the Indian armed forces at the time of independence in August 1947. Attached British personnel were eligible. It was awarded to all those who, on 15 August 1947, were members of the armed forces of India, including the forces of princely states that acceded to Indian rule before 1 January 1948. British military personnel who remained in India after independence and who served with Indian forces up to 1 January 1948 qualified, although those with British units awaiting repatriation did not. The medal is circular, 1.4 in (36 mm) in diameter and made of cupronickel. The obverse has the Ashoka Chakra wheel surmounted by a crown, surrounded by the inscription GEORGIUS VI D:G: BRITT:OMN: REX: FID DEF. The reverse shows the Ashoka lions, which is the State Emblem of India, with the words INDIAN INDEPENDENCE above and the date 15th AUGUST 1947 below. The 1.25 in (32 mm) ribbon consists of three equal stripes of saffron, white and green, the colours on the flag of India. The medal is worn on the left chest, with the saffron furthest from the left shoulder. In most cases, the name and details of the recipient were impressed on the edge of the medal. A Police Independence Medal was instituted in 1950 for award to all serving members of India's police forces. The design is similar to the Indian Independence Medal. The obverse shows the Ashokan Lions above the Indian National motto Truth Alone Prevails in Sanskrit ( सत्यमेव जयते ) with the words INDIAN INDEPENDENCE above and 26th JANUARY 1950 below — the day India became a republic. The reverse shows the chakra wheel with a lotus border above and the word POLICE below. The ribbon is red with a blue-edged orange central stripe. (en)
- La medaglia dell'indipendenza dell'India fu una medaglia istituita dal Dominion of India ed approvata da re Giorgio VI del Regno Unito con Decreto Reale del 21 luglio 1948. Essa venne coniata per commemorare l'indipendenza dell'India dai domini britannici, sottoscritta nell'agosto del 1947. Venne concessa a tutti coloro che, al 15 agosto 1947, fossero membri delle forze armate dell'India, incluse le forze degli stati principeschi che fossero entrati a far parte dell'India prima del 1º gennaio 1948. Il personale britannico rimasto in servizio in India dopo l'indipendenza e che fosse in servizio attivo al 1º gennaio 1948 poté pure ricevere la decorazione, anche se non lo furono le unità britanniche in procinto di rimpatriare.

- De Onafhankelijkheidsmedaille van India, in het Engels "Indian Independence Medal", was een in oktober 1949 door George VI van het Verenigd Koninkrijk ingestelde onderscheiding van de Dominion India. India werd op 15 augustus 1947 onafhankelijk, het land werd een "Dominion". De herinneringsmedaille werd toegekend aan alle mannelijke en vrouwelijke leden van de Indiase strijdkrachten en de militairen die dienden in de legers van de tot India toegetreden semi-onafhankelijke heersers zoals de Maharadjas. Ook de heersers zelf ontvingen deze medaille. Het Koninklijk Besluit van George VI bestemde de medaille voor "de Britse militairen die na de onafhankelijkheid in het land bleven om te helpen bij de verdeling en reorganisatie van de strijdkrachten van India". Zij kregen deze medaille wanneer zij op 1 januari 1948 nog steeds in dienst waren. Ook de Gurkhas en allerlei civiel personeel dat aan het leger was verbonden kwam in aanmerking. Aan de strijdkrachten verbonden burgers die voor de overheid in Delhi of in de provincies werkten ontvingen de medaille ook. Ook de militairen van de Britse RAF, de transporteenheden, bleven nog enige tijd in India werkzaam en kwamen voor de medaille in aanmerking. Omdat India na het uitroepen van de republiek in 1950 nòg een Onafhankelijkheidsmedaille liet slaan, nu zonder de kroon en de titels van de koning, wordt deze medaille ook wel de "Indian Independence Medal 1947" genoemd.
