“Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we will redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance …. We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again.”
- Jawaharlal Nehru (Speech on Indian Independence Day, 1947)
They dreamt of a free India… they dared to fight for it
They had the power… to achieve their dreams
They had the courage… to target the impossible.
Let us remember those countless patriots
Who paid the price of their life
For the supreme reward of independence
The flame they lot burns undimmed forever.
Wishing you all a very Happy 60th Independence Day.
Seems like no one has left a comment yet. Why don't you be the first one?
