Answer:
The Spirit of freedom is loosing it's lusture.
Explanation:
In his "tryst with destiny" speech at midnight on August 14/15, 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru used the phrase "not wholly or in full measure" to describe India's attainment of freedom.
"Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny," said the first prime minister of India, "and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge - not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially.
At the stroke of the midnight hour, while the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom."
Evidently, to Mahatma Gandhi's first lieutenant and one of the main architects of the freedom movement, the divided India, which the departing British had bequeathed to their successors, was a betrayal of the dream of the nationalists.
Even a year earlier, virtually none of them and a vast majority in what is today three nations - India, Pakistan and Bangladesh - could have imagined that the Indian subcontinent will not remain united.
Nor could the British if only because they felt that the main achievement of their imperial mission was to unite India as never before since the time of the Mauryan empire in the pre-Christian era.
Although their critics believed that the partition of India was the inevitable consequence of the traditional "divide and rule" policy of the British, this sinister strategy was not reflected in the speech of Prime Minister Clement Atlee during the House of Commons debate on the Indian Independence Bill.
"For myself", he said, "I earnestly hope that this severance may not endure and that the two new Dominions ... may, in course of time, come together again to form one great member state of the British Commonwealth of Nations."
Harold Macmillan, the leader of the opposition, echoed this opinion: "We must hope ... that in this partition are also the seeds of some form of future unity."
Nehru too was "convinced that our present decision (on partition) is the right one ... it may be that in this way we shall reach that united India sooner than otherwise and then she will have a stronger and more secure foundation".
And the founder of Pakistan, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, had articulated his hope a few years earlier in these words: "Let us, therefore, live as good neighbours; let the Hindus guard the south and western India and let the Muslims guard the north-west and eastern frontiers.
We will then stand together and say to the world: Hands off India, India for the Indians."
As these unrequited hopes and fervent expectations show, the independence of India was not quite the joyous event because of the end of colonial rule as the later generations have come to believe, but one marked by uncertainty and sadness.
The reason is that partition negated the very concept of India, as described in the Vishnu Purana of the Vedic Age: "Uttaram yat samudrasya/Himadreschaiva daskshinam,/Varsham tad Bharatam nama/Bharati yatra santatih."
Answer:
We have gathered here to affirm a faith, a faith in a common purpose, a common conviction, a common devotion. Some of us have chosen America as the land of our adoption; the rest have come from those who did the same. For this reason we have some right to consider ourselves a picked group, a group of those who had the courage to break from the past and brave the dangers and the loneliness of a strange land. What was the object that nerved us, or those who went before us, to this choice? We sought liberty; freedoms from oppression, freedom from want, freedom to be ourselves. This we then sought; this we now believe that we are by way of winning. What do we mean when we say that first of all we seek liberty? I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. While it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it. And what is this liberty which must lie in the hearts of men and women? It is not the ruthless, the unbridled will; it is not freedom to do as one likes. That is the denial of liberty, and leads straight to its overthrow. A society in which men recognize no check upon their freedom soon becomes a society where freedom is the possession of only a savage few; as we have learned to our sorrow.
