I wish a very good morning to our school headmistress all my respected
Teachers, Parents, friends and school mates. Today i am feeling very lucky and thankful that I am given a chance to give a speech on this Independence Day in front of you all. Today we have gathered to celebrate Independence day in India which is annually celebrated on 15 August every year. We all know that this day is a proud movement for every citizen. Independence day celebration gives me a sense/feeling of immense joy which is indescribable in words when I see our tricolor national flag soaring in the wind high up. British colonial rule began when the East India Company arrived in India. History of slave India reveals everything that how our ancestors and forefathers had worked hard and suffered all the brutal behavior of Britisher’s. Our whole journey till independence took sacrifices of lives of many freedom fighters and several decades of struggle. It was indeed a big moment for all the Indians when somewhat between 14th and 15th August the treaty of Indian sovereignty was signed. This was the time when George VI was ruling as the king in Britain and Clement Attlee was their prime minister. In India Jawaharlal Nehru became the first prime minister of independent India. This is the day when we got freedom from shackles the British Rule after many years of struggle by the great freedom fighters of India. This is the day which is dedicated to our great leaders who have sacrificed their lives in getting freedom. Some of the great freedom fighters of India are Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Jawahar Lal Nehru, Dr. B R Ambedkar ji, Mahatma Gandhiji, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lala Lajpath Ray, Bhagat Singh, Khudi Ram Bose and Chandra Sekhar Azad. After independence we got our all the fundamental rights in our own Nation (India/Bharat). These rights are due to great person Dr B R Ambedkar’s immense hard work and we are proud that India has the best constitution in the whole world. We all should feel proud to be an Indian and admire our fortune that we took birth on the land of an Independent India. Today we have freedom in almost all fields such as education, sports, transportation, business, farming, etc just because of the years of struggle of our forefathers. Earlier, people were not so free even they were restricted to have rights on their own body, mind and many more. People were not allowed to get education, eat healthy food and live normal life like others have. Indian Citizens were slave of Britishers and forced to follow all the orders of them. Today we are free to do anything just because of the great Indian leaders who struggled hard for many years. We can never forget the freedom fighters (Bhagat Singh, Khudi Ram Bose Chandra Sekhar Azad and other known) who had lost their lives in their early age just for fighting for their country India. Most prominent personalities who chiefly contributed towards gaining independence and social rights to every citizen was Mahatma Gandhi (Bapu) and Dr. B R Ambedkar (Baba Saheb). This movement is celebrated same to same in schools, offices, hospitals, universities and society. Some students participate in dance , some students participate in singing and some in other activities. After independence day function prize distribution takes place. We should feel proud to be an Indian and try our best to be best citizen. If we stay united and honest no doubt this will be best nation in the world. On this momentous day we should take an oath of being highly responsible, Honest and well-educated citizens of the tomorrow India.
