Below is a speech that you can give on Independence Day. Hope this helps you in performing well in your school competition or any other field.
A very good morning, everyone!
As we all know, today we all are here to acknowledge our privilege of being born in a Free India and celebrate the Independence Day of our country. We need to ask those born before 1947, to know the pain and the anguish of being enslaved under British colonial rule. For every Indian in those days, it was indeed a very brave task to fight against the British, powerful giants of those times.
Those difficult times and hard struggles must not be allowed to fade away from our memories. Hence, every Independence Day, we not only celebrate our freedom, but we also pay tribute to the ones who fought for it, to the ones who held a vision for our country, and to the ones who sacrificed themselves for the independence of us and our country.
The idea of being an independent democratic nation, where the sovereign power to determine our future lies with us, the citizens, places a huge responsibility on our shoulders. The significance of its beautiful story is that this nation has gained respect from the world for the democratic route chosen by it. We can proudly say that India has never invaded any country in its, 10000 years of history.
On this occasion, we first think about Mahatma Gandhi, the man behind our struggle for freedom and the martyrs who made the supreme sacrifice for our country's liberty. We are also reminded of the relentless struggle of our great patriots who liberated our motherland from the British colonial rule.
Gandhi was seeking freedom from both foreign rule and the indigenous social chains that had long incarcerated our society. Every other Indian was guided on a path of self-belief and hope for a better future. Democracy gives us the right to live freely as proud citizens of our country. Today, we are fortunate to live in one, only because of the vision and sacrifice of our great brave freedom fighters.
There is a very big celebration each year in New Delhi, where the Prime Minister hoists the national flag and people sing the national anthem. Also, a salute is given to the national flag by firing 21 guns with the national anthem, and a helicopter showers flowers. All the forces take part in parades. In the end, we can not merely say that 15th August is solely about freedom.
This day is also a day of emotions, it reminds us of the pain of being enslaved; of the strength in unity; it defines sacrifice, it gives us an example that some wars can be won with non-violence alone and of all the things, it makes us value and encourage the freedom we have today. It is our responsibility, as proud citizens of our country, to sincerely perform our duty and progress together for the growth and development of our country. Keeping the sacrifices of our ancestors in mind, we should take an oath, to make a better future for our motherland.
JAI HIND!
