Question

Speech writing on independence day of india

Answer 1

Remember, the importance of 15th August in 1947 and 15th August today remains the same, but its relevance varies. The priority and focus of a nation being born in 1947 was different then, as India today prepares its priorities and focus based on current situation.

- Mention how the freedom fighters then were committed and focused on achieving independence from British rule and what we must learn to ensure that we continue to do justice to what they struggled and fought for.

- Talk about the ideals of Independence – unity in diversity, inclusiveness, tolerance, equality and democracy as corner stones of modern India.

- Speak about some of the tallest leaders that inspired people to come together in the call for freedom from British rule. You may want to mention the inspirational leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, the father of our nation, and his commitment to use ‘non-violence’ as a means of attaining ‘Swaraj’.

- Here, you can recall the martyrdom and sacrifice of those people who inspired others to join the freedom movement. You could begin with mentioning how an unknown Sepoy in the British Army called Mangal Pandey triggered a rebellion that soon spread to other parts of the country that was later referred to as the Great Mutiny of 1857.
