We have assembled here to celebrate our 62nd Independence Day.
As a citizen of India, I am so proud to talk to you about my mother India.
On the night of August 14, 1947, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru rose to
make a maiden speech in New Delhi, “When the world sleeps, India will wake to life and freedom.” Yes, India became free from the bondage of British rule.
Now, India is the largest democratic country in the world. The
country’s strength is to find, “Unity in diversity”. But, there are stray incidents that test her secularism but the people of India are ready to sacrifice anything for the cause of unity.
Today we remember the great leaders who gave their lives for the nation’s freedom and prosperity.
Dr. B.R.Ambedkar gave the longest written constitution to us.
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru worked for an industrialised India.
Gandhiji taught us Ahimsa and Non-violence. Subash Chandra
Bose inducted courage in us. Swami Vivekanada gave us spiritual power.
Yes, with these contributions, India will be the super power in the coming years.
Our former President Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam called the children of
India to dream to build a strong Nation with aim and perseverance. Indeed! This is not a word of a single man. It is word of one billion souls.
