64th Independence Day Speech

Respected teachers, Parents and my dear friends,
Let me first wish you all a very Happy Independence Day.
Today our nation is celebrating its 64th Independence Day

Long ago, India was under the cruel rule of the British.
Our great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak along with other leaders and millions of common people fought against the British and won freedom for our country.

On 15th August 1947, India won Independence.
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru hoisted our tri-colour flag on that day.
Every year, on this day, we hoist the flag, sing our National Anthem ‘Jana Gana Mana’ and distribute sweets.
We do all this to pay homage to our great leaders and to all who fought for our country's freedom.

 After independence India faced many problems.
Poverty, Unemployment, illiteracy and the very poor living condition of the people.
United we stood, against these problems and solved them one after another.
India started progressing in all fields including science and technology.
All this we achieved because we stood united.


Unity in Diversity. That is India.
People speak different languages.
Their religion is different.
Their customs and beliefs are different.
Still we all live together in great unity and love and work together for India's progress.

 But there are many countries and groups who do not want India to progress.
They try to stop our developments by destroying the peace and harmony among the people.
For this they use the Terrorists and plan attacks in different cities.
Don’t you remember the recent terrorist attacks and bomb blasts in Mumbai?
Many innocent people got killed and many injured.

 We should not allow these terrorists to kill innocent people like this and destroy the peace and harmony of our country.
It is our duty to fight against these forces like our freedom fighters fought against the British.

On this day, I request all of you to join together and start another freedom struggle to free our mother India from the hands of the terrorists.

JAI HIND
