At the stroke of midnight on August 14, 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru addressed the new nation through his speech ‘Tryst with Destiny’..........
"Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny, 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, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which

comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and

when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn

moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still

larger cause of humanity."

Na sar jhuka hai kabhi aur na jhukayenge Kabhi, jo apne dum pe jiyen sach me zindagi hai wahi. Live like a true INDIAN. HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!!!!!!
