Question

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru said that long years ago we had tryst with our destiny explain this statement

Answer 1

Tryst with destiny is one of great speeches of 20th century this world ever seen deliver by India's first prime minister Jawaharlal lal Nehru.

This phrase means- Independence of India destined to happen.

When a nation becomes independent, it is truly a meeting with destiny as that nation will be in control of its future and not subject to external rule

There's opening line of Nehru's speech I mention below, If you're native hindi speaker, that would help you to understand what he's trying to convey through his speech on the eve of 15th august,

हमने नियति(destiny) को मिलने का एक वचन दिया था, और अब समय आ गया है कि हम अपने वचन को निभाएं, पूरी तरह ना सही, लेकिन बहुत हद्द तक। आज रात बारह बजे, जब सारी दुनिया सो रही होगी, भारत जीवन और स्वतंत्रता की नयी सुबह के साथ उठेगा।
