Shibnibas is a village located in Krishnaganj subdivision of Nadia district in West Bengal, India.

The name Shibnibas is a combination of two words: Shib, which refers to Lord Shiva, and Nibas (Nivas), which means residence.

This celebration is due to the fact that Shibnibas became a part of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) during the partition at the time of India's independence.

[2] This event was forgotten till 1991 when a residence of Shibnibas named Anjan Sukul decided to celebrate Independence Day on August 18.

He took permission from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India and celebrated Independence Day on August 18, 1991, in Shibnibas.
