We have assembled here to celebrate our 77
th 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
ChandraBose 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 billionsouls.
