Respected teachers, fellow students, and my dear countrymen,
Today, as we stand united under the tricolour, let us celebrate the extraordinary diversity of our nation. India is a kaleidoscope of cultures, languages, and religions, yet we are bound together by the spirit of oneness. From the snow-capped Himalayas to the sun-kissed beaches of Kerala, we are a nation of contrasts, but our hearts beat as one.
Let us cherish our differences, for they enrich our lives. Let us respect each other’s beliefs and traditions. Let us work together to build a harmonious and inclusive India. Only then can we truly realize the dream of our freedom fighters.
Let us pledge to uphold the values of unity, peace, and progress. Together, we can create a brighter future for our beloved country. Jai Hind!
foreign rulers withdrawing from many colonies and colonialism drew close to its end. What is special about our freedom struggle is not only the fact that its objective was achieved, but also how it was fought. Under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi and a galaxy of extraordinary visionary leaders, our national movement was animated by a unique set of ideals. Gandhiji and others re-kindled the soul of India and helped the nation rediscover its civilisational values. Following India's shining example, 'truth and non-violence', the cornerstone of our resistance, has been successfully employed in many political struggles around the world.
On the eve of Independence Day, I join my fellow citizens in paying grateful tribute to the known and unknown freedom fighters whose sacrifices have made it possible for India to regain its rightful place in the comity of nations. Great women freedom fighters like Matangini Hazra and Kanaklata Baruah laid down their lives for Bharat-Mata. Maa Kasturba matched the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi every step of the way on the difficult path of Satyagraha. Many great women leaders like Sarojini Naidu, Ammu Swaminathan, Rama Devi, Aruna Asaf-Ali and Sucheta Kriplani had set inspiring ideals for all future generations of women, to serve the nation and the society with self-confidence. Today, women are contributing extensively in every field of development and service to the country and are enhancing the nation's pride. Today our women have made their special place in many such fields in which their participation was unimaginable a few decades ago.
I am happy to note that the economic empowerment of women is being given special focus in our country. Economic empowerment strengthens the position of women in the family and society. I urge all fellow citizens to give priority to women empowerment. I would like our sisters and daughters to overcome challenges with courage and move ahead in life. Development of women was among the ideals of our freedom struggle.
