Good Morning Everyone!

Today we all are here to acknowledge our privilege of being born in a Free India
and celebrate the 75th Independence day of our country. We need to ask those born
before 1947, to know the pangs of anguish of being enslaved under a colonial rule.
For every Indian in those days, it was indeed a Herculean task to fight against
those powerful giants - the British. Those difficult times and 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 same.

The idea of being an independent nation, where sovereign power lies with us to
determine our future, 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, our thoughts turn first to 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 colonial rule.

Gandhiji was seeking liberty 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 a country. Today, we are fortunate to live in one,
due to the vision and sacrifice of our freedom fighters.

There is a big celebration each year in New Delhi at Rajpath, where the national
anthem is sung after the Prime Minister hoists the flag. Also, a salute is given to
the national flag by firing 21 guns with the national anthem, and flowers are also
showered via helicopter. 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 a plethora 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 and of all the things, it makes us value and cherish the freedom we have
today. It is our responsibility, as proud citizens of this 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 carve a better future for our motherland.

Jai Hind!

Short Independence Day Speech for Students

Good Morning Everyone!

Every year on 15 August, Independence Day is celebrated as a national holiday in

India when people remember the long phase of our nation's independence from British
rule. On August 15, 1947, India gained independence after a series of movements in
which many freedom fighters sacrificed their lives. After independence, on 15
August 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru became the first Indian Prime Minister to raise the
National Flag at the Red Fort near Delhi's Lahore Gate. By unfurling the National
Flag and singing the National Anthem, students, teachers, parents and other
individuals come together to celebrate Independence Day. The Indian prime minister
in the national capital New Delhi, at Red Fort, also hosts our National Flag. After
that, the salute is given by firing 21 guns and a helicopter showers tricolour
flowers on the flag. The colours in our flag represent different things; saffron
signifies courage and sacrifice, white signifies peace and truth, green signifies
faith and chivalry. In the centre of our flag, there is an Ashok chakra that
contains 24 evenly distributed spikes. We recall the great sacrifices of Bhagat
Singh, Sukhdev, Raj Guru, Gandhiji and other daring freedom fighters on this
special day for their unforgettable contribution to India's independence.

Jai Hind!

10 Lines Independence Day Short Speech in English

India gained independence on August 15th, 1947.

After independence, in our nation, we acquired all our fundamental rights.

We should all be proud to be an Indian, and we should admire our fortune to have
been born in the land of Independent India.

From 1857 to 1947, the lives of many freedom fighters and several decades of
struggle were sacrificed.

For the independence of India, an Indian soldier (Mangal Pandey) in the British
force first raised his voice against the British.

Several great freedom fighters later struggled and spent their entire lives only to
gain freedom.

The sacrifices of all the freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Khudi Ram Bose and
Chandra Sekhar Azad, who lost their lives at an early age just to fight for their
country, can never be forgotten.

Gandhiji was a great Indian figure who gave Indians a great lesson in non-violence.

We are so lucky to have been given a land of peace and happiness by our
forefathers, where we can sleep all night without fear and enjoy the whole day at
school or home.

People celebrate Independence Day by hoisting the national flag and reciting the
national anthem.

Jai Hind!
