Respected Principal, Vice Principal, My Colleagues and Dear Students – Warm Greeting to Everyone!
Being the alumnus of this school and now a Journalist in recent times, I have received a great opportunity from your Principal to deliver a speech on Lal Bahadur Shastri who was the brain behind various important policies in the Indian history, but sadly is not much renowned for his efforts.
You all might be wondering that he was recently in the media channels due to controversies on his death, but I haven’t come here to clear those misunderstandings but just want an opportunity from you all to speak about a very noble and humble person, his achievements and simplicity, despite being a politician.
There are various stories about his simplicity but I will tell you about one which is very inspiring and motivating. Here is one which prove his modesty and integrity and the concern that he had for the nation and its people. I can recall one such incident which proves his honesty. Due to the demand of family members Shastri ji decided to buy a car when he was serving as the Prime Minister. Being short by Rs. 5000 on total cost of Rs. 12000, he applied for a loan in a bank. The loan was sanctioned and he paid for it from his pocket. Anyone, holding the highest post of power and displaying such modest and honest principles is unimaginable.
The simplicity matched with his peaceful capacity to resolve Indo Pak War through negotiations and Agreements. He made the country proud with his wit to handle a tough situation. He was an admirer of Jawaharlal Nehru who believed that India could only develop through fast paced industrialization which in turn could reduce poverty and unemployment. In his view proper planning was very important for a state rather than foreign trade.
After Nehru, Shastri Ji was quite impressed with the idea of planning which could lead India to the path of economic development; also his ability to tackle situations was amazing. He initiated a few steps to bring the Indian economy on the right track which included getting the country out of severe food shortages by initiating the path towards agricultural development rather than industrial development. He was a very far sighted person. His policies of Green Revolution and Farmers empowerment had set a foundation stone for the Indian economy to grow.
Shastri Ji was always ahead of his times in terms of economic and foreign policies. He set a foundation stone for peace and foreign policy relations with countries which would benefit India. His pragmatism and activism helped us in moving in the correct direction towards development and economic growth.
Shastri Ji, a noble soul died in 1966 next day after signing the Tashkent Agreement to establish a zone of peace and set peaceful tone between two countries which if not stopped would have fought a escalated war.
At the end I hope that I have enlightened you all about a divine soul without whom our country would not have tread on the path to development and growth.
Thank You!
