"Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny..................."
Jawaharlal Nehru was the first Prime Minister of an independent India, whom he helped to create. This speech, known as the ‘Tryst of Destiny’, was delivered on the eve of 15 August 1947, the date India gained independence from Britain. Throughout his speech, he drew much reference to the power of the Indian people, and the responsibilities in which he and the elected legislature of India will have in representing the people of India.
His references to dawn and awakenings relate to the new beginning that Indians are experiencing at the time in which the speech was delivered. He refers to India as the star of freedom in the East, a reference to both the rising sun and a bright star, in which Nehru hopes India to become. He also makes reference to the struggles in which India has suffered, yet states his optimism in India becoming a prosperous nation.
Throughout his speech he also discusses peace with not only each other, but the rest of the world. Pakistan and Bangladesh considered and subsequently split from the original India, however Nehru wanted to emphasize the noble mansion of free India in which all her children may dwell.
Even with his constant references to peace, equality and freedom for the newly born India, he also does not fail to mention that much work needed to be done. Talking about the vast rates of poverty in India, he strikes a more personal chord with the audience. Nehru continues to pull on people’s thoughts on a personal level throughout the entire speech, and also instils in them a sense of optimism for the future of the new state of India.
Nehru uses his impeccable speaking ability, hence his power, to draw parallels between the struggles of the Indian people and the bright future in which he envisions for the new nation. This manipulation and influence in which Nehru demonstrates is a form of invisible yet strong power, and it is this that he continued to demonstrate throughout his successful 17 years as Prime Minister of the new, powerful India.
