15 Great Speeches to Remind America what Independence Day is About

This year we will celebrate the 244 th anniversary of American independence. This day does not only represent the creation of a new nation, but the creation of a new civilization, one founded on the principles of freedom, self-government, and equality. Here are 15 speeches to inspire new vigor for our founding principles. Looking at who and what we were will help us remember who and what we ought to be.

1. Patrick Henry, “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” 1775

Patrick Henry gave this speech in 1775 at the Virginia Convention. It took place only a few months after the assembly of the first Continental Congress had sent King George III a petition for the redress of grievances. Boston Harbor was also blockaded by the British in retaliation for the Boston Tea Party. Tensions were high, revolution seemed inevitable, but still many political leaders in Virginia held out hope that the relationship with Great Britain could be restored. Patrick Henry sought to dispel them of that notion.

Patrick Henry was a lawyer and had a reputation as one of the greatest opponents of British taxation. In this speech he argues passionately for independence. He made his case clear in the opening of his speech stating, “For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery…” He chides the assembly for indulging in “illusions of hope” for passively waiting “to be betrayed with a kiss” and for falling prey to the siren songs of the British.

He reminds the assembly of the lengths the colonists have gone to in order to plead their case to the British, “We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament.” He then states how the British have received such outreach, “Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne.”

Next is Henry’s powerful call to action, a call that would galvanize the colonies into declaring independence from Great Britain:

In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us! … Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave… There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come. It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

2. Samuel Adams, “On American Independence” 1776

Samuel Adams was a delegate to the First Continental Congress in 1774, was a Signer of the Declaration of Independence, helped get the Constitution ratified in the Massachusetts Convention, and became Governor of Massachusetts in 1794.

In this speech Adams recognizes that this was not simply a battle that would determine the fate of two nations, but the fate of the world at large. He declared, “Courage, then, my countrymen; our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty.”

Adams notes the ability of men to “deliberately and voluntarily” form for themselves a political society. He cites John Hampden, John Locke, and Algernon Sidney whose ideas and actions paved the way for such a feat. Of this new founding he states:

Other nations have received their laws from conquerors; some are indebted for a constitution to the suffering of their ancestors through revolving centuries. The people of this country, alone, have formally and deliberately chosen a government for themselves, and with open and uninfluenced consent bound themselves into a social compact. Here no man proclaims his birth or wealth as a title to honorable distinction, or to sanctify ignorance and vice with the name of hereditary authority. He who has most zeal and ability to promote public felicity, let him be the servant of the public. This is the only line of distinction drawn by nature. Leave the bird of night to the obscurity for which nature intended him, and expect only from the eagle to brush the clouds with his wings and look boldly in the face of the sun.

He like Patrick Henry then gives a call to action:

We have no other alternative than independence, or the most ignominious and galling servitude. The legions of our enemies thicken on our plains; desolation and death mark their bloody career, while the mangled corpses of our countrymen seem to cry out to us as a voice from heaven.

Lastly, Adams ends his address declaring the people of America the guardians of their own liberty. Then with an ode to the ancient Roman republic he ends stating, “Nothing that we propose can pass into a law without your consent. Be yourselves, O Americans, the authors of those laws on which your happiness depends.”

3. John Quincy Adams, “An Address Celebrating the Declaration of Independence” 1821

Adams begins the speech recounting the first settlers of the Plymouth colony and how they entered into a written covenant with one another on the eve of their landing. Of this event he states,

Thus was a social compact formed upon the elementary principles of civil society, in which conquest and servitude had no part. The slough of brutal force was entirely cast off; all was voluntary; all was unbiased consent; all was the agreement of soul with soul.

Adams continues to trace America’s historical and political development throughout the speech. He recalls how the British mistreated the colonists from the beginning, citing how Britain went against its own ideas and principles in denying the colonists representation and consent. He states, “For the independence of North America, there were ample and sufficient causes in the laws of moral and physical nature.”

Adams’ ode to the Declaration of Independence is most worth reading:

It was the first solemn declaration by a nation of the only legitimate foundation of civil government. It was the corner stone of a new fabric, destined to cover the surface of the globe. It demolished at a stroke the lawfulness of all governments founded upon conquest. It swept away all the rubbish of accumulated centuries of servitude. It announced in practical form to the world the transcendent truth of the unalienable sovereignty of the people. It proved that the social compact was no figment of the imagination; but a real, solid, and sacred bond of the social union. From the day of this declaration, the people of North America were no longer the fragment of a distant empire, imploring justice and mercy from an inexorable master in another hemisphere. They were no longer children appealing in vain to the sympathies of a heartless mother; no longer subjects leaning upon the shattered columns of royal promises, and invoking the faith of parchment to secure their rights. They were a nation, asserting as of right, and maintaining by war, its own existence. A nation was born in a day. […] [T]hat a new civilization had come, a new spirit had arisen on this side of the Atlantic more advanced and more developed in its regard for the rights of the individual than that which characterized the Old World. Life in a new and open country had aspirations which could not be realized in any subordinate position. A separate establishment was ultimately inevitable. It had been decreed by the very laws of human nature. Man everywhere has an unconquerable desire to be the master of his own destiny.

Adams goes on to pronounce that the Declaration was more than the “mere secession of territory” and the “establishment of a nation.” No, these things have occurred before, but the Declaration of Independence not only liberated America but ennobled all of humanity, he stated.

4. Daniel Webster “Speech at the laying of the cornerstone of the capitol,” July 4, 1851.

Daniel Webster was one of the most prominent lawyers in the 19 th century, arguing over 200 cases before the Supreme Court. He also represented New Hampshire and Massachusetts in Congress and was Secretary of State under three presidents. Webster is also known for his speech in Congress, called the Second Reply to Hayne, which derided the theory of nullification espoused by John C. Calhoun.

Webster’s speech on the occasion of laying the Capital building’s cornerstone had a patriotic tone, He begins with the celebratory declaration, “This is America! This is Washington! And this the Capitol of the United States!”

Of the Founding generation Webster stated,

The Muse inspiring our Fathers was the Genius of Liberty, all on fire with a sense of oppression, and a resolution to throw it off; the whole world was the stage and higher characters than princes trod it… how well the characters were cast, and how well each acted his part…

He went on to speak about the tremendous sacrifice the men who signed the Declaration paid. “It was sealed in blood,” he stated. Of the liberty that the Founding generation bestowed upon successive generations Webster said,

Every man’s heart swells within him; every man’s port and bearing becomes somewhat more proud and lofty, as he remembers that seventy-five years have rolled away, and that the great inheritance of liberty is still his; his undiminished and unimpaired; his in all its original glory’ his to enjoy’ his to protect; and his to transmit to future generations.

Finally, Webster made clear that American liberty is unique among nations,

I have said, gentlemen, that our inheritance is an inheritance of American liberty. That liberty is characteristic, peculiar, and altogether our own. Nothing like it existed in former times, nor was known in the most enlightened States of antiquity; while with us its principles have become interwoven into the minds of individual men… […] And, finally another most important part of the great fabric of American liberty is, that there shall be written constitutions, founded on the immediate authority of the people themselves, and regulating and restraining all the powers conferred upon Government, whether legislative, executive, or judicial.

5. Frederick Douglass, “What to the slave is the 4 th of July?” July 5, 1852

He spoke about the Founding Fathers as men of courage who “preferred revolution to peaceful submission to bondage.” Of the “fathers of this republic” he said, “They were statesmen, patriots and heroes, and for the good they did, and the principles they contended for, I will unite with you to honor their memory.”

Drawing a contrast between the Founders and the men of his generation advocating the positive good of slavery Douglass stated,

They believed in order; but not in the order of tyranny. With them, nothing was “settled” that was not right. With them, justice, liberty and humanity were “final;” not slavery and oppression. You may well cherish the memory of such men. They were great in their day and generation. Their solid manhood stands out the more as we contrast it with these degenerate times.

Douglass encouraged Americans to celebrate the Declaration as the ring-bolt to the chains of the United Sates’ destiny. “The principles contained in that instrument are saving principles. Stand by those principles, be true to them on all occasions, in all places, against all foes, and at whatever cost,” he stated.

Douglass then rightly points out that America was not living up to its own ideals as laid out in the Declaration when it came to the millions of black men and women still enslaved. He stated,

Fellow-citizens, pardon me, allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here to-day? What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us? and am I, therefore, called upon to bring our humble offering to the national altar, and to confess the benefits and express devout gratitude for the blessings resulting from your independence to us?

Of Slavery’s effects on the American union he declared, “It fetters your progress; it is the enemy of improvement, the deadly foe of education; it fosters pride; it breeds insolence; it promotes vice; it shelters crime; it is a curse to the earth that supports it…”

He goes on to explain that this anniversary does not yet include black men and women. He stated, “The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me.” Yet Douglass was optimistic that this would soon change. He called the Constitution a “GLORIOUS LIBERTY DOCUMENT.” He exhorted the assembly to consider the Constitution’s preamble and ask themselves if slavery was listed as one of its purposes.

He finished his momentous speech by saying,

Allow me to say, in conclusion, notwithstanding the dark picture I have this day presented of the state of the nation, I do not despair of this country. There are forces in operation, which must inevitably work the downfall of slavery. “The arm of the Lord is not shortened,” and the doom of slavery is certain. I, therefore, leave off where I began, with hope. While drawing encouragement from the Declaration of Independence, the great principles it contains, and the genius of American Institutions, my spirit is also cheered by the obvious tendencies of the age.

6. Abraham Lincoln, Electric Cord Speech, 1858

In this speech often titled, “Speech at Chicago, Illinois” Abraham Lincoln replies to Senator Stephen Douglas’ conception of popular sovereignty. This was a theory that argued that each new territory should be able to decide whether or not to have slavery within their borders instead of allowing the federal government to decide. Lincoln saw this as a repeal of the Missouri Compromise which kept slavery relegated to the South.

To make his case against popular sovereignty and the expansion of slavery Lincoln argues that the adopters of the Constitution decreed that slavery should not go into the new territory and that the slave trade should be cut off within twenty years by an act of Congress. “What were [these provisions] but a clear indication that the framers of the Constitution intended and expected the ultimate extinction of that institution,” Lincoln asked the crowd.

After expounding upon the evils of slavery and recent actions to preserve the institution Lincoln turns to the Declaration of Independence for support. He stated,

We hold this annual celebration to remind ourselves of all the good done in this process of time of how it was done and who did it, and how we are historically connected with it; and we go from these meetings in better humor with ourselves—we feel more attached the one to the other and more firmly bound to the country we inhabit. In every way we are better men in the age, and race, and country in which we live for these celebrations. But after we have done all this we have not yet reached the whole. There is something else connected with it. We have besides these men—descended by blood from our ancestors—among us perhaps half our people who are not descendants at all of these men, they are men who have come from Europe—German, Irish, French and Scandinavian—men that have come from Europe themselves, or whose ancestors have come hither and settled here, finding themselves our equals in all things. If they look back through this history to trace their connection with those days by blood, they find they have none, they cannot carry themselves back into that glorious epoch and make themselves feel that they are part of us, but when they look through that old Declaration of Independence they find that those old men say that “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,” and then they feel that that moral sentiment taught in that day evidences their relation to those men, that it is the father of all moral principle in them, and that they have a right to claim it as though they were blood of the blood, and flesh of the flesh of the men who wrote that Declaration, (loud and long continued applause) and so they are. That is the electric cord in that Declaration that links the hearts of patriotic and liberty-loving men together, that will link those patriotic hearts as long as the love of freedom exists in the minds of men throughout the world.

7. Abraham Lincoln, Address in Independence Hall, February 22, 1861

On Abraham Lincoln's inaugural journey to Washington as president-elect, he stopped in Philadelphia at the site where the Declaration of Independence had been signed. There he said,

I have never had a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Independence. I have often pondered over the dangers which were incurred by the men who assembled here, and framed and adopted that Declaration of Independence. I have pondered over the toils that were endured by the officers and soldiers of the army who achieved that Independence. I have often inquired of myself, what great principle or idea it was that kept this Confederacy so long together. It was not the mere matter of the separation of the Colonies from the motherland; but that sentiment in the Declaration of Independence which gave liberty, not alone to the people of this country, but, I hope, to the world, for all future time. It was that which gave promise that in due time the weight would be lifted from the shoulders of all men. This is a sentiment embodied in the Declaration of Independence.

8. Abraham Lincoln, Fragments on the Constitution and Union, January 1, 1861

This short selection is not part of Lincoln’s tome of public speeches. One theory is that Lincoln wrote it while composing his first inaugural address. It is noteworthy because of Lincoln’s argument that what is most important about America are the principles and ideals it was founded upon. That principle, he states, is “Liberty to all.”

The expression of that principle, in our Declaration of Independence, was most happy, and fortunate. Without this, as well as with it, we could have declared our independence of Great Britain; but without it, we could not, I think, have secured our free government, and consequent prosperity. No oppressed, people will fight, and endure, as our fathers did, without the promise of something better, than a mere change of masters. The assertion of that principle, at that time, was the word, “fitly spoken” which has proved an “apple of gold” to us. The Union, and the Constitution, are the picture of silver, subsequently framed around it. The picture was made, not to conceal, or destroy the apple; but to adorn, and preserve it. The picture was made for the apple–not the apple for the picture.

9. Abraham Lincoln, The Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863

Aside from our original founding documents the Gettysburg address is perhaps the most important American creed ever written. It signifies America’s second founding or the moment our first founding more fully aligned with its own ideals. Since its decree America has begun to live in what Lincoln called “a new birth of freedom.” Here are selections from the address:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. […] It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

10. Winston Churchill, “The Third Great Title-Deed of Anglo-American Liberties” July 4, 1918

A great harmony exists between the spirit and language of the Declaration of Independence and all we are fighting for now. A similar harmony exists between the principles of that Declaration and all that the British people have wished to stand for, and have in fact achieved at last both here at home and in the self-governing Dominions of the Crown. The Declaration of Independence is not only an American document. It follows on Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights as the third great title-deed on which the liberties of the English-speaking people are founded.

11. Calvin Coolidge, “Speech on the 150 th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, July 5 1926

Calvin Coolidge, the 30 th president of the United States, was sworn in after President Harding’s unexpected death. Harding’s administration was steeped in scandal. Coolidge is known for restoring integrity to the executive branch by rooting out corruption and being a model of integrity.

Coolidge gave his Fourth of July Speech in Philadelphia, the birthplace of our nation. There he pointed to the Liberty Bell as a great American symbol,

It is little wonder that people at home and abroad consider Independence Hall as hallowed ground and revere the Liberty Bell as a sacred relic. That pile of bricks and mortar, that mass of metal, might appear to the uninstructed as only the outgrown meeting place and the shattered bell of a former time, useless now because of more modern conveniences, but to those who know they have become consecrated by the use which men have made of them. They have long been identified with a great cause. They are the framework of a spiritual event.

Of the Declaration Coolidge stated,

It was not because it was proposed to establish a new nation, but because it was proposed to establish a nation on new principles, that July 4, 1776, has come to be regarded as one of the greatest days in history. Great ideas do not burst upon the world unannounced. They are reached by a gradual development over a length of time usually proportionate to their importance. This is especially true of the principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence. Three very definite propositions were set out in its preamble regarding the nature of mankind and therefore of government. These were the doctrine that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain inalienable rights, and that therefore the source of the just powers of government must be derived from the consent of the governed.

Of his trust in our Founding documents he said,

It is not so much, then, for the purpose of undertaking to proclaim new theories and principles that this annual celebration is maintained, but rather to reaffirm and reestablish those old theories and principles which time and the unerring logic of events have demonstrated to be sound. Amid all the clash of conflicting interests, amid all the welter of partisan politics, every American can turn for solace and consolation to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States with the assurance and confidence that those two great charters of freedom and justice remain firm and unshaken. Whatever perils appear, whatever dangers threaten, the Nation remains secure in the knowledge that the ultimate application of the law of the land will provide an adequate defense and protection.

12. John F. Kennedy, “Some Elements of the American Character” July 4, 1946

John F. Kennedy gave this speech as a candidate for Congress. In it he offers a robust defense of America’s founding. He lauds America’s religious character and derides the theory that America’s founders were concerned purely with economic interests. He explicitly states,

In recent years, the existence of this element in the American character has been challenged by those who seek to give an economic interpretation to American history. They seek to destroy our faith in our past so that they may guide our future. These cynics are wrong…

Kennedy instead argues,

In Revolutionary times, the cry "No taxation without representation" was not an economic complaint. Rather, it was directly traceable to the eminently fair and just principle that no sovereign power has the right to govern without the consent of the governed. Anything short of that was tyranny. It was against this tyranny that the colonists "fired the shot heard 'round the world."

Kennedy then espouses a political theory of the American founding that relies on natural rights,

The American Constitution has set down for all men to see the essentially Christian and American principle that there are certain rights held by every man which no government and no majority, however powerful, can deny. Conceived in Grecian thought, strengthened by Christian morality, and stamped indelibly into American political philosophy, the right of the individual against the State is the keystone of our Constitution. Each man is free.

13. Martin Luther King Jr., “I Have a Dream” 1963

Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream Speech” is another great cry from another great man declaring that America was not living up to its founding principles.

King begins his speech by harkening back to Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. He states, “This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice.” Yet, he argues, 100 years later black men and women are still not free. To right this wrong, he points to the Declaration,

In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."

King refused to believe that there was no hope. He said,

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

King’s dream inspired a nation to live up to its ideals. His beautiful words have become iconic,

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

14. Martin Luther King Jr. “The American Dream” Sermon Delivered at Ebenezar Baptist Church” July 4, 1965

In this sermon delivered on July 4, 1965, Martin Luther King Jr. locates the substance of the American dream within the Declaration of Independence. About the statement, “All men are created equal,” King states, “The first saying we notice in this dream is an amazing universalism. It doesn’t say “some men,” it says “all men.”

King goes on to explain to the congregation what separates the United States from other nations around the world.

Then that dream goes on to say another thing that ultimately distinguishes our nation and our form of government from any totalitarian system in the world. It says that each of us has certain basic rights that are neither derived from or conferred by the state.

As the source of these inalienable rights King points to the fact that they are God-given. “Never before in the history of the world has a sociopolitical document expressed in such profound, eloquent, and unequivocal language the dignity and the worth of human personality,” he said.

King goes on to point out that America has not lived up to this dream. He describes America as being “divided against herself.” He argues that America cannot afford an “anemic democracy.”

He however professed hope that this dream will challenge America to remember her “noble capacity for justice and love and brotherhood.” He further challenged America to respect the “dignity and worth of all human personality” and to live up to the ideal that “all men are created equal.”

King clarifies that equality does not mean that every musician is a Mozart or every philosopher an Aristotle, but that all men are “equal in intrinsic worth.” He points to the Biblical concept of imago dei . He states, “[T]are no gradations in the image of God. Every man from a treble white to a bass black is significant on God’s keyboard, precisely because every man is made in the image of God. He ends his sermon with these powerful words,

We have a dream. It started way back in 1776, and God grant that America will be true to her dream. I still have a dream this morning that truth will reign supreme and all of God’s children will respect the dignity and worth of human personality. And when this day comes the morning stars will sing together and the sons of God will shout for joy.

15. Ronald Reagan, “Address to the Nation on Independence Day” July 4, 1986

In this speech Reagan recalls the moment of the signing of the Declaration,

Fifty-six men came forward to sign the parchment. It was noted at the time that they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honors. And that was more than rhetoric; each of those men knew the penalty for high treason to the Crown. ``We must all hang together,'' Benjamin Franklin said, ``or, assuredly, we will all hang separately.'' And John Hancock, it is said, wrote his signature in large script so King George could see it without his spectacles. They were brave. They stayed brave through all the bloodshed of the coming years. Their courage created a nation built on a universal claim to human dignity, on the proposition that every man, woman, and child had a right to a future of freedom.

Reagan also talked about the beautiful friendship between Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. He noted how they died on the same day, July 4 th , exactly 50 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It was their first gift to us, Reagan said.

My fellow Americans, it falls to us to keep faith with them and all the great Americans of our past. Believe me, if there's one impression I carry with me after the privilege of holding for 5 ½ years the office held by Adams and Jefferson and Lincoln, it is this: that the things that unite us -- America's past of which we're so proud, our hopes and aspirations for the future of the world and this much-loved country -- these things far outweigh what little divides us. And so tonight we reaffirm that Jew and gentile, we are one nation under God; that black and white, we are one nation indivisible; that Republican and Democrat, we are all Americans. Tonight, with heart and hand, through whatever trial and travail, we pledge ourselves to each other and to the cause of human freedom, the cause that has given light to this land and hope to the world.

Essay on Independence Day in English 100 Words

The 15th of August, beginning in 1947, has grown in significance in Indian history. When India finally gained its independence in 1947 after much hardship and sacrifice on the part of the Indian freedom fighters, it was the luckiest day of the year. We fought long and hard for our freedom. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was the first prime minister of independent India, elected by the people, and he raised the tricolour national flag for the first time at the Red Fort in the nation’s capital, New Delhi. Every year, everyone celebrates this special day with great joy.

Essay on Independence Day in English 200 Words

Every year on August 15, people across India celebrate their independence. India won its freedom from the oppressive British rule on the same day in 1947. India’s population celebrates Independence Day with unmatched grandeur and splendor, much like a festival. In addition, it is a national holiday, so businesses and educational institutions are still closed. Even so, events like raising the flag are frequently held in several locations. The government has also ordered all employees to be present for the ceremonies of hoisting the flag in their respective offices. The national anthem is sung after raising the flag, and then candy is given out.

After nearly 200 years of British repression and our ongoing resistance to it, India attained independence. In this protracted battle, a great deal of blood was spilled; numerous freedom fighters and sons of the soil died. The pain and loss that our leaders and fighters endured make independence all the more valuable. Independence is a nation’s and its people’s greatest asset, which is why July 4th has special meaning. An independent country is run entirely by its own citizens, with no outside interference. The celebration of Independence Day tells the outside world that Indians value their independence and will fiercely repel any foreign invasion.

Even though India declared its independence on August 15, 1947, few of us are aware that politicians and citizens of India also celebrated Independence Day prior to the country’s formal declaration of independence. At the Indian National Congress meeting in Lahore in 1929, the demand for Purna Swaraj, or complete independence, was the catalyst for everything. The session’s projection for Independence Day was the signing of “The Declaration of the Independence of India” on January 26, 1930.

Events across the Nation

Independence Day is observed by the entire nation as a national holiday and with unmatched fervor and devotion. Indians adore their nation and hold the nation’s independence fighters in the highest regard. The Tricolour, the national flag of India, is flown over all governmental and non-governmental institutions as well as in public spaces like markets. Unless it violates the Flag Code of India, there are no restrictions on flag display. There are school kids marching to the sound of the national anthem being played by a band. At district offices and police grounds, parades by police and paramilitary personnel are also held.

In their respective offices in the state capitals, the Chief Minister and the Governor hoist the National flag. Delhi, the country’s capital, serves as the focal point for the Independence Day festivities. The current prime minister of India accepts the guard of honour from the military after hoisting the flag from Red Fort. He continues by addressing the people of the country and outlining the policy and achievements of the administration.

India’s most important holiday is Independence Day. One of the very few holidays celebrated with joy and fervor by all Indian religious groups is this one. It is a day of great pride for the people of India.

Essay on Independence Day in English 800 Words

The United Kingdom’s parliament passed an act on the day that India gained legislative sovereignty, and that day is recognised as Independence Day in India. The British Parliament granted the Indian Constituent Assembly, which was established to draught the Indian Constitution, complete legislative authority through the Indian Independence Act, which was passed on August 15, 1947. It was the result of a protracted conflict in which the British Empire’s repressions were opposed using the principles of nonviolence and civil disobedience.

Background Information

The British occasionally visited India during the 17th century to express their interest in trading there. The wealth of the kingdoms and the diverse topography of the subcontinent astounded them. They gradually began gaining a foothold in the country by stepping up trade. Here, the “East India Company” came to the fore, which was intended to be a trading company reporting to its board of directors in London; however, East India Company, eyeing the endless wealth opportunities that the subcontinent offered, forcibly occupied powers of the government and judiciary. “Company Rule” refers to the period of Indian history from 1757 to 1858.

The East India Company’s rule in India continued unaltered until the rebellion of 1857, at which point the Government of India Act 1857 transferred power to Queen Victoria. This Act recognised the British Crown as India’s supreme ruler. Political parties and civil societies in India gradually grew stronger in the ensuing decades, calling for self-rule or Swaraj. After a protracted conflict marked by non-cooperation and non-violence, India finally attained independence on August 15, 1947.

The importance of Independence Day

After nearly 200 years of being ruled by the East India company and then the British Crown, the country finally achieved independence. At the hands of the British, it was a time of unethical repression and massive resource exploitation. Kingdoms were forcibly taken over, kings were deposed and punished for no discernible reason, and farmers and small business owners were made vulnerable by the implementation of new tax laws. Every moment the country spent under the Crown had been painful for everyone. Thus, when independence was finally won on August 15, 1947, it was a significant accomplishment and cause for celebration. The significance of the day is determined by the sacrifices made by our countrymen in the fight for independence, as well as by other freedom fighters. The freedom struggle claimed the lives of millions of Indians. The holiday serves as a reminder to honour those who gave their all so that we could live in freedom.

Celebrations of the Independence Day

India observes the day of its independence as a national holiday. People from various religions, castes, and cultures come together to celebrate the day with feelings of nationalism and patriotism. The spirit of the holiday season was evident everywhere in the country, including in homes, offices, schools, and colleges. The national anthem and patriotic music are audible everywhere. On this day, it’s common to see tricolours flapping in all different sizes and shapes.

Celebration at New Delhi

The biggest Independence Day celebrations take place in Delhi, the nation’s capital. The Indian Prime Minister addresses the country via television the evening before Independence Day, wishing the populace well and honouring the freedom fighters. The following day, a large crowd gathered at the Red Fort to see the Prime Minister raise the flag. The national flag is being honoured, and thousands of people from all over the country are there to see what happens next, along with a number of dignitaries. The singing of the national anthem and a 21-gun salute in honour of the prime minister occur simultaneously after raising the flag. The Prime Minister addresses the nation again after the firing of the guns in remembrance of the freedom fighters and their struggles.

Celebrations at Work and in Schools

India celebrates Independence Day with nearly equal fervour and enthusiasm in all of its schools, colleges, and workplaces. Children are more prominently involved in the festivities, and they appear to be at the centre of all the planning. The institution’s leader hoists the national flag in front of the students and other staff members to kick off the festivities. Children themselves organise a variety of competitions, cultural events, and plays in their schools as a reminder of India’s freedom struggle and to honour the great freedom fighters. Children dress up as different freedom fighters and shout well-known Indian independence movement anthems like “Inquilab Zindabad,” “Jai Hind,” and “Vande Matram,” among others. To commemorate the occasion, the school gives out treats to the staff and students.

The nation is filled with festive fervour and pride in its diversity and unification. The sound of drums beating and the singing of the national anthem instills a strong sense of nationalism in the heart.

Additionally, we must defend our freedom and democracy from those who would seek to Break us into different parts.

On this Independence Day, recommitting oneself to the principles of our freedom fighters is necessary. Together, let’s commit to creating a brighter future for our nation. Let us never take our freedom for granted and let us never forget the price that was paid for it.

2 Minutes Speech on Independence Day

Respected Head of the School and all my dear friends. We have gathered here to commemorate India’s 77th anniversary of independence. Our hearts are overflowing with a range of feelings on this historic day, including appreciation for the sacrifices made by our gallant freedom fighters and respect for our border guards.

On August 15, 1947, India was freed from 200 years of brutal British colonial rule. Let us remember our obligations to Bharat Mata as we commemorate this day of patriotism.

Our independence is not just about political freedom in the connected world of today; it is also about the ability to control our own destiny, choose our own path, and defend the values that make us who we are. It serves as a reminder that we must continue to be watchful in preserving our national security and advancing our society. We must work to build a country where every person may reap the benefits of progress, where justice and equality are upheld, and where all people’s opinions are valued and appreciated. Let’s all pledge to support the development of all Indians.

Jai Hind! Jai Bharat!

100 Words Essay On Independence Day In English

Independence day is a day where a country celebrates their independence and regains their freedom. India celebrates their independence day every year on August 15. Mountbatten decided to advance the date to August 15, 1947. He justified it by saying that he did not want bloodshed or riots.

Mountbatten chose August 15 as the date of the Indian independence to also mark the second anniversary of Japan’s surrender in World War 2.

Britishers have ruled India for almost 200 years. Under British rule, the lives of the Indian people were miserable. Indians were treated as slaves and had no right to say anything to them. Indian rulers were mere puppets in the hands of British officers. Indian soldiers were treated inhumanely in British camps, and farmers were dying of starvation as they could not grow crops and had to pay heavy land taxes.

Our freedom fighters struggled for India’s Independence. Famous leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Jawaharlal Nehru, Rani Lakshmi Bai, Mangal Pandey, Dada Bhai Naoroji fought fearlessly against the Britishers. Many of them also sacrificed their lives to make India free from British rule. Their contribution and effort are remembered in India’s Independence history.

Independence Day Speech 3 – Short Speech on 15 August

Respected; Principal, teachers, staff members and all my dear friends. I welcome you all from the bottom of my heart on this day of national reverence, when we celebrate the country’s 73 rd Independence Day, today.

I feel immensely honoured to having been given an opportunity to address you all on such a significant occasion and express my own views.

As we all know that India gained independence on August 15, 1947. It was on this day that the British departed from Indian soil, transferring the legislative powers to the Indian Constituent Assembly. In other words, India was now to be ruled by its own people and not by foreign invaders.

It was the most joyous moment in the history of India as it came following nearly two centuries of struggle and revolutions against British sovereignty. The day reminds us of the valour and sacrifices of our fellow countrymen, who were the torchbearers of the freedom struggle.

Let us celebrate this Independence Day to commemorate the indomitable spirit of our freedom fighters and political patrons of that time. It is because of them that we enjoy the fruits of freedom today.

Independence Day Speech 4 – Short Speech on 15 August

Respected Principal Sir, teachers, guests and my dear friends. It’s an honour for me to address you all on our 73 rd Independence Day, today.

As we all know that it was on this fateful day in 1947, that we gained independence, thanks to the freedom fighters and political visionaries of that time. They had envisioned a free and united India, and fought courageously against British invaders to make their dream true.

Finally, their dream was realized on 15 th August 1947; though, the nation had to pay heavy price for it. With the joy of independence, came the sorrow of partition.

The celebration of Independence was marred by the formation of Dominion of Pakistan on 14 th August, 1947 and battered by the communal violence following it.

When half of India was rejoicing its independence, half of it was burning from communal riots. This wasn’t something that our freedom fighters and political leaders could have imagined, while struggling for independence.

Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Rajguru, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Chandrasekhar Azad, didn’t sacrifice their lives to see fellow Indians slitting each other’s throat on communal grounds. They envisioned an India having communal, religious and cultural harmony.

It is impossible to change history, but we can always change the future and make new history. Independence Day was indeed one of the most significant days in the history of India, but we must also remember those who have sacrificed their lives to make us live this day. Also, we must not forget that any kind of demographic division on the basis of religion, caste or creed will only hamper our progress.

Let us end the speech with a pledge to maintain the sovereignty and equality of the nation and to remember those who lost their lives to give us independence. Jai Hind!!

Independence Day Speech 5 – Long Speech on 15 August

Good morning to all my respected teachers, parents and dear friends. Today we have gathered here to celebrate this great national event. As we all know that Independence day is an auspicious occasion for all of us. India’s Independence Day is the most important day to all the Indian citizens and has been mentioned forever in the history.

It is the day when we got freedom from the British rule after many years of hard struggle by the great freedom fighters of India. We celebrate independence day every year on 15 th of August to remember the first day of freedom of India as well as remember all the sacrifices of the great leaders who have sacrificed their lives in getting freedom for India.

India got independence on 15 th of August in 1947 from the British rule. After independence we got our all the fundamental rights in our own Nation, our Motherland. We all should feel proud to be an Indian and admire our fortune that we took birth on the land of an Independent India. History of slave India reveals everything that how our ancestors and forefathers had worked hard and suffered all the brutal behavior of Britishers.

We cannot imagine by sitting here that how hard the independence was for India from the British rule. It took sacrifices of lives of many freedom fighters and several decades of struggle from 1857 to 1947. An Indian soldier (Mangal Pandey) in the British force had first raised his voice against Britishers for the independence of India.

Later several great freedom fighters had struggled and spent their whole life only for getting freedom. We can never forget the sacrifices of the Bhagat Singh, Khudi Ram Bose and Chandra Sekhar Azad who had lost their lives in their early age just for fighting for their country. How can we ignore all the struggles of Netaji and Gandhiji. Gandhiji was a great Indian personalities who taught Indians a big lesson of non-violence. He was the one and only who lead India to get freedom with the help of non-violence. Finally the result of long years of struggle came in front on 15 th of August 1947 when India got freedom.

We are so lucky that our forefathers have given us a land of peace and happy where we can sleep whole night without fear and enjoy whole day in our school or home. Our country is developing very fast in the field of technology, education, sports, finance and various other fields which were almost impossible before freedom. India is one of the countries rich in nuclear power. We are going ahead by actively participating in the sports like Olympics, Commonwealth games and Asian games.

We have full rights to chose our government and enjoy largest democracy in the world. Yes, we are free and have complete freedom however we should not understand ourselves free of responsibilities towards our country. As being responsible citizens of the country, we should be always ready to handle any emergency condition in our country.

Jai Hind, Jai Bharat.

Independence Day Speech 6 – Long Speech on 15 August

A very warm good morning to the respected teachers and my dear friends gathered here. Today we are gathered here to celebrate this auspicious occasion of Independence day on 15 th of August. We celebrate this day with lots of enthusiasm and joy every year because our country got freedom at this day in 1947 from the British rule. We are here to celebrate nth number of independence day. It is great and most significant day for all Indians. People of India had suffered cruel behavior of Britishers for many years.

Today we have freedom in almost all fields such as education, sports, transportation, business, etc just because of the years of struggle of our forefathers. Before 1947, people were not so free even they were restricted to have rights on their own body and mind. They were slave of Britishers and forced to follow all the orders of them. Today we are free to do anything because of the great Indian leaders who struggled hard for many years to get freedom against British rule.

Independence day is celebrated all over India with much pleasure. This day is of great importance to all Indian citizens as it gives us opportunity to remember all those freedom fighters who had sacrificed their lives just for giving us a beautiful and peaceful life. Earlier to the independence, people were not allowed to get education, eat healthy food and live normal life like us. We should be grateful to those events responsible for the freedom in India. Indians were treated more badly than slaves by the Britishers just to fulfill their meaningless orders.

Some of the great freedom fighters of India are Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Jawahar Lal Nehru, Mahatma Gandhiji, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Lala Lajpath Ray, Bhagat Singh, Khudi Ram Bose and Chandra Sekhar Azad. They were famous patriots who struggled hard for the freedom of India till the end of their life. We cannot imagine that horrible moment struggled by our forefathers.

Now, after many years of independence our country is on the right track of development. Today our country is a well established democratic country all over the world. Gandhiji was great leader who taught us about effective way of freedom like ahimsa and sathyagraha methods. Gandhi dreamed of an independent India with the non violence and peace.

India is our mother country and we are its citizens. We should always be ready to save it from the bad people. It is our responsibility to lead our country ahead and make it a best country of the world.

Independence Day Speech 7 – Long Speech on 15 August

Very good morning to the honorable Chief Guest of the day, respected teachers, parents and my all dear friends. I wish you all a very Happy Independence Day. We all know the reason of get together here in such a big crowd. We all are excited celebrating this great day in such an excellent manner. We are gathered here to celebrate 73rd independence day of our nation.

First of all we hoist our honorable national flag then give a salute to all the heroic deeds of the freedom fighters. I am feeling so proud to be an Indian citizen. I have such a great chance to give a speech on the Independence Day in front of you all. I would like to say thanks to my respected class teacher that she has given me an opportunity to share my views with you all about the freedom of India.

We celebrate Independence day every year on 15 th of August because India got freedom on the night of 14 th of August in 1947. Just after the independence of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru had given a speech on the Independence day in New Delhi. When people all over the world were sleeping, people in India were waking to get freedom and life from the British rule. Now, after the independence, India has been a largest democratic country in the world. Our country is a most famous country for the saying of unity in diversity. It face many incidents testing its secularism however Indian people become always ready to answer with their unity.

Because of the hard struggles of our forefathers we are now able to enjoy the freedom and breathe fresh air according to our wish. Getting freedom from the Britishers was really an impossible task our forefathers did with their continuous efforts. We can never forget their works and always remember them through the history. We cannot remember all the deeds of all the freedom fighters in a day only however can give them a heartily salute. They would always be in our memories and way of inspiration to us whole life.

Today is the very significant day for all Indians which we celebrate remembering sacrifices of great Indian leaders who had given their lives for the freedom and prosperity of the country. Freedom of India was possible because of the cooperation, sacrifice and involvement of all the Indians. We should value and salute all the Indian citizens because they are the real national heroes. We should keep faith in the secularism and never be separate to maintain the unity so that no one can break and rule again.

We should take an oath today of being highly responsible and well-educated citizens of the tomorrow India. We should sincerely perform our duty and do work hard to get the goal and successfully lead this democratic nation.

Independence Day Speech 8 – Long Speech on 15 August

A very good morning to the excellencies, respected teachers and my dear colleagues. We are gathered here to celebrate nth Independence day. I am very happy to speech here on this great occasion. I am very grateful to my class teacher to give me such a special opportunity to say my views on the independence day of my country. At this special occasion of independence day I would like to speech on the India’s struggle for getting freedom from the British rule.

Long years ago, great Indian leaders were made a tryst with the destiny to give us a free and peaceful country by sacrificing their comfort of life. Today we are gathered here to celebrate independence day without any fear and having happy face just because of our brave forefathers.

We cannot imagine that how the moment was critical at that time. We have nothing to give our forefathers in return for their precious hard works and sacrifices. We can only remember them and their deeds and make a heartily salute while celebrating the national events. They would always be in our hearts. After the independence India get new birth with happy face of all Indian citizens.

India got independence on 15 th of August in 1947 from the clutches of British rule. Indian people all over the country celebrate this national festival annually with lots of joy and enthusiasm. It was great day for all the Indian citizens when India’s tricolor flag was unfolded by the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, at the Red Fort, Delhi.

A huge celebration takes place in New Delhi at Rajpath every year where national anthem is sung after the flag hoisting by prime minster. Together with the national anthem a salute through 21 guns firing and showering of flowers through helicopter is given to the national flag. Independence day is a national holiday however everyone celebrate this from their own places by hosting the flags in schools, offices or society. We should feel proud to be an Indian and try our best to save the honor of our country.

Long Speech on Independence Day of India 9 – Speech on 15 August

Hon’ble Guests of Honor, Senior Managers, Managers, other Staff Members and My Dear Friends – Warm Greetings to all of you!

I am feeling extremely glad to have been standing in front of you and hosting this invigorating day on the eve of Independence Day. We as Indians very well realize the importance of Independence Day and should be filled with utmost pride to have finally won back our freedom from the shackles of British rule. It gives me a sense of immense joy which is indescribable in words when I see our national flag soaring in the wind high up.

I am sure you can relate with my emotions. Needless to say, Independence Day is celebrated on 15 th of August every year and it is in the year 1947 that India emerged as a free nation. Since this is a day of great historical importance for all the Indians, national holiday is being declared in India and all of us celebrate Independence Day with great warmth and show.

This is just a brief about Independence Day, but does anyone here know about the period of British Raj? Well, let me share with you all that it was between 1858 until 1947 that the Britishers colonized our Indian subcontinent. This time period is called the British Raj period.

Now, it becomes even more interesting to know how the British colonial rule began in our country. When the East India Company arrived in India, they were stripped of the goods and land of Indian citizens by conspiracy and Queen Victoria making it all the property of the monarchy.

The East India Company was founded in 1600 under Royal Charter during the monarchical reign of Elizabeth I. Though apparently its chief aim was to trade, it eventually became an indomitable force of colonization controlling the most part of our Indian subcontinent. The people living in the Indian subcontinent during that time became the subjects of the British colonial rule under Queen Victoria and subsequently other monarchs who came after her.

I am sure we all can gauge that gaining independence under such challenging situation was not an easy task, but required long and persistent efforts. One of the most prominent personalities who chiefly contributed towards gaining independence was Mahatma Gandhi or what we usually address him as Bapu .

What makes him even a greater personality is the fact that he achieved independence by not following the path of violence or bloodshed, but through his policy of non-violence wherein he did not oppose the rule of Britishers through armed fighting rather he with his followers started the non-violence campaign which comprised hunger strikes and civil disobedience. Their concerted efforts ultimately brought an end to the British Raj in our country. British rule was given an official garb under the name of “British administration of India” and under that garb Indians had to undergo a lot of pain and trauma.

We should salute those heroic spirits and pay our homage to them by remembering their brave deeds and sacrifice for our mother land and never forget that it is because of their efforts that we stand today and breathe in an Independent India.

But the seeds of self-governance in our country were laid down much before India won its independence. In the 19 th century, several Indian councilors were appointed on various advisory roles. They were hired for the advisory support of the British viceroys who continued to rule across the major parts of India. In the year 1892, a law known as the Indian Councils Act came into being with a view to empower these councilors as well as other Indian officials. But they remained under the higher British authority and had to put up with the prejudices of the white men to be able to reach the pinnacle of success in their jobs.

It was somewhat in the midnight between 14 th August and daytime of 15 th August 1947 that the treaty of Indian sovereignty was signed. This was a time when George VI was ruling as the king in Britain and Clement Attlee was their prime minister. In India Jawaharlal Nehru became the prime minister of independent India and Britain renounced his rule over India. The Britishers no longer had anything to do with the Indian affairs.

Even though we do not bear witness to those times, but we can understand very well the intensity of that crucial time when our country actually gained independence. We cannot help but feel proud of it. However, the declaration of freedom came in written in the year 1929, which is much earlier. This declaration happened along with the great freedom fighter Mahatma Gandhi and other known figures, who hoisted the Indian Flag.

It was indeed a big moment for all the Indians. The day of declaration of Indian independence is called as Purna Swaraj . It is quite significant to understand that even though India gained independence in the year 1947, it was only in the 1950s that India’s official constitution as an independent nation came into effect. The period in between was a transition phase in the form of 3 intervening years.

So how can we Indians let go off this momentous day in normalcy and not celebrate this historic day with great pomp and show. So on this day of great historical importance, our prime minister visits Red Fort and hoists the Indian National Flag or our Tricolor (Tiranga). Post that the national anthem is being sung. It is then followed by a stirring speech delivered by our prime minister to the people of its country. Now, the 73rd Independence Day will be celebrated on August 15 th , 2018. The whole sight looks so spectacular and mesmerizing that we can’t help but remain in awe while witnessing the whole ceremony.

In the end, all that can be said is freedom is priceless and our soldiers are so brave that they are continuously fighting on borders in order to protect our country from any militant or terrorist group. So we should never fail to value this freedom and preserve it wholeheartedly.

This is all I can say, Jai Hind!

As we hoist the tricolour, we must also pause to consider the ideals and guiding tenets of our independence movement: inclusion, diversity, and unity. To develop a more powerful and affluent India, individuals from all backgrounds, ethnicities, and religions have come together in our nation as it stands today.

While we celebrate our independence, we must be aware of the difficulties that still lie ahead. We must work to end social inequities, poverty, and illiteracy. Let's join to fight communalism, corruption, and any other forces that jeopardise the peace in our country.

As accountable citizens, let us promise to do everything in our power to advance and build our cherished nation. Let's defend the values of democracy, equality, and justice in remembrance of the sacrifices made by our freedom warriors.

Let's celebrate our freedom on this Independence Day, but let's also keep in mind our obligations and responsibilities to India's future. Together, we can make India a nation that excels internationally and continues to inspire the rest of the globe.

Jai Hind! Happy Independence Day!

Good morning to all of you, including the vice president, instructors, principal, and my dear students. To celebrate the 77th anniversary of our country's independence, we have all assembled here. We shall honour all the freedom fighters who dedicated their lives to preserve the nation's freedom on this important occasion.

British sovereignty over India ended on August 15, 1947. All of our fundamental rights were granted to us in our nation, our home. The British were brutal to our ancestors while they were in power. We can't imagine how difficult it must have been for India to live within the British Empire from where we are sitting. To achieve independence, countless millions of sacrifices were made over many years.

Numerous freedom fighters fought for independence throughout their entire lives. We can never forget the sacrifices of Lala Lajpat Rai, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, Rani Lakshmibai, Khudiram Bose, Sukhdev Thapar, Vallabhbhai Patel, Mangal Pandey, Tatya Tope, Ram Prasad Bismil, Udham Singh, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Gopal Krishna Gokhale, and many more who lost their lives just fighting for a better future.

We are incredibly grateful that our forebears battled to free us from British rule. They have contributed to our tremendous growth in the areas of technology, education, sports, and finance. With participation in competitions like the Asian, Commonwealth, and Olympic Games, the Indians are making progress.

On this significant day, it is now our responsibility to maintain the nation's honour, promote the nation, and enhance the nation. I wish everyone a Happy Independence Day and good luck for the future.

Thank You and Happy Independence Day to all of you!

Good Morning to all dignitaries and fellow mates who are present here.

On the eve of Independence Day, we honour the bravery and sacrifices of our Indian freedom heroes. When India became independent, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, our first Prime Minister, raised the tricolour flag at Delhi's Red Fort and Lahori Gate. This day has been observed as a separate holiday ever since. Numerous programs are dedicated in honour of the solemn occasion of the day during our Indian warriors' Red Fort-like march past, and schoolchildren fire 21 gunshots to signal the start of events and cultural performances. The Independence Day celebration also includes kite flying, which fills the sky with a variety of kites in all sizes, shapes, and colours. Later, starting in 1974, all of the various chief ministers unfurl the national flag.

The anniversary of the division of the subcontinent into India and Pakistan is another contemporary relevance of Independence Day. We are known for having the biggest democracy in the world. The UK Parliament approved the Indian Independence Act of 1947 on this day, granting the Indian country legislative authority.

Hope my words are enough to elate your happiness and patriotism. Happy Independence Day!

77th Independence Day 2023: Long Speech

Respected dignitaries, esteemed teachers, dear fellow students, and fellow citizens,

Today, as we gather here to commemorate the 76th Indian Independence Day, our hearts swell with pride and gratitude for the countless brave souls who fought relentlessly to liberate our beloved motherland from the clutches of British colonial rule.

The end of foreign rule and the start of a new era in Indian history are both marked by this day. It stands for the triumph of bravery, teamwork, and the tenacious spirit of the Indian people. Our fight for independence was more than just a political movement; it was a battle for our right to self-determination, fairness, and human decency.

We respectfully recall the inspirational leaders who guided us on this difficult road. The way of non-violence and civil disobedience, which became the pillar of our struggle, was demonstrated to us by Mahatma Gandhi, the father of our country. Our first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, laid the groundwork for the development of our country by envisioning a modern, forward-thinking India.

The key to realising our country's potential is education. Let's work to ensure that every child, regardless of circumstance, has access to an education. Not only is knowledge liberating, but it also lays the groundwork for a successful future.

Rural development must be given top priority in order to provide residents with access to necessities like clean water, healthcare, and sanitary facilities. By empowering our villages, we can achieve sustainable, balanced growth that benefits all of our citizens.

One of our biggest assets is our variety. Let's celebrate our variety and embrace our rich cultural heritage on this Independence Day. Together, we are stronger, and India stands out on the international stage because of its variety.

Lastly, let us never forget how difficult and costly it was to achieve our independence. As proud Indians, it is our responsibility to uphold the democratic, secular, and socially just ideals that our forefathers envisioned. Let's promise to be law-abiding, caring, and environmentally conscientious citizens who help our amazing country flourish and prosper.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses the nation as he delivers his 10th consecutive speech from Red Fort on the 77th Independence Day. (Hindustan Times)

PM Modi spoke on violence-hit Manipur, stating that the country was with the people of the state. He added that peace prevailed for the past few days, saying that the Central and State government will work to restore peace in Manipur.

He praised the martyrs of the country saying that there was not a single person in the history who did not wait and work towards becoming independent from the British era.

He also said that today the country had demography, democracy and diversity, adding that these three were enough to achieve every dream of the country.

Here is the full text of his speech:

My dear 140 crore family members,

The world's largest democracy and now many people are of the opinion that we are number one in the world even in terms of population. Such a huge country, 140 crore people, my brothers and sisters, my family members are celebrating the festival of independence today. I extend many best wishes to crores of people of the country, to crores of people in the country and the world who love India, who respect India, who are proud of India, on this great holy festival of independence.

My dear family members, the movement of non-cooperation under the leadership of Pujya Bapu, the movement of Satyagraha and the sacrifice of countless heroes like Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Rajguru, there would hardly be a person in that generation who did not contribute to the freedom of the country. Today, I respectfully bow down to all those who have contributed, sacrificed, performed penance in the country's freedom struggle and congratulate them. Today, 15th August, the 150th birth anniversary of Sri Aurobindo, the great revolutionary and pioneer of spiritual life, is being completed. This year is the year of 150th birth anniversary of Swami Dayanand Saraswati. This year is also a very auspicious occasion of the 500th birth anniversary of Rani Durgavati, which the whole country is going to celebrate with great pomp. This year is also the auspicious festival of 525 years of Meerabai, the head of Bhakti Yoga. This time when we will celebrate 26 January it will be the 75th anniversary of our Republic Day. Many opportunities in many ways, many possibilities with every moment creating new inspiration, new consciousness, dreams, resolution, is to be engaged in nation building, perhaps there can be no greater opportunity than this.

My dear family members, this time natural calamity has created unimaginable distress in many parts of the country. I express my condolences to all the families who have suffered in this crisis and assure that the state and central government together will get rid of all those troubles quickly and then move ahead at a fast pace.

My dear family members, last few weeks in North-East and also in some other parts of India, but especially in Manipur, many people lost their lives, the honor of mothers and daughters was played with. However, for the past few days, there are continuous reports of peace coming in, the country is with the people of Manipur. The country should take forward the festival of peace that the people of Manipur have maintained for the last few days, and the way to a solution will emerge only through peace. The state and the central government together are trying their best to solve those problems and will continue to do so.

My dear family members, when we look at history, there are moments in history which leave their indelible mark. And its effect lasts for centuries and sometimes it seems like a very small incident in the beginning but it becomes the root of many problems. We remember that this country was invaded 1000-1200 years ago. A small king of a small state was defeated. But then it was not even known that one incident would entrap India in slavery for a thousand years. And we kept getting enslaved. What a difficult time it must have been, those thousand years.

My dear family members, the incident may be small, but it has been leaving an impact for thousands of years. But today I want to mention this because there was no time when the heroes of India did not keep the flame of freedom and the tradition of sacrifice burning. Bharat maa wished to stand up to be free from the shackles and the women of the country, the youth, the farmers, the people of the villages, the laborers, along with every Indian continues to dream of freedom. A large army was ready, consisting of those who were ready to die to get freedom. Many great men who spent their youth in jails were busy fighting for the freedom of our country and breaking the shackles of slavery.

My dear family members, rhat widespread form of public consciousness, sacrifice and austerity, that moment which instilled a new faith in the people, finally led to the country becoming independent in 1947, the countrymen saw the fulfillment of their dreams cherished after thousands of years of slavery.

Comrades, I am talking about thousand years ago because, I see that once again an opportunity has come before the country. We have entered such a period and it is our good fortune that India has such in Amritkal. This is the first year of Amritkal either we are living in youth or we have taken birth in the lap of Mother Bharati. And this period, keep my words in writing, my dear family members, what we will do in this period, the steps we will take, the sacrifices we will make, the penance we will do, Sarvajan Hitay, Sarvajan Sukhay , will lead to decisions one after the other and the golden history of the country for the coming one thousand years is going to sprout from it. The events happening in this period are going to create its impact for the next one thousand years.

The country, which has come out of the mentality of slavery, is moving forward today with a new self-confidence. The nation is working wholeheartedly to prove the new resolutions. My mother India which was once a powerhouse of energy, but was buried in a pile of ashes, that Mother India has been awakened once again by the efforts, consciousness and energy of 140 crore countrymen. Maa Bharti has awakened and I can clearly see friends, this is the period we have experienced in the last 9-10 years. A new attraction, a new faith, a new hope has arisen all over the world towards the consciousness of India, towards the potential of India, and the world is seeing this beam of light that has risen from India as a light for itself. A new faith is being born to the world. It is our good fortune that we have some things which our forefathers have given us in inheritance and the present era has carved them.

Today we have demography, democracy, diversity. This trinity of demography, democracy and diversity has the potential to make every dream of India come true. Today, the age of countries in the whole world is declining, if it is on the decline, then India is moving energetically towards youth. It is a period of great pride that today the population under the age of 30 is the highest in India but anywhere in the world. This country, where youth is below 30 years of age, should have crores of arms, crores of brains, crores of dreams, crores of determination, brothers and sisters, and my dear family members, these desired results can be achieved.

My dear family members, such incidents change the fate of the country. This changes the destiny of the country. India, we are standing at the midway between 1000 years of slavery and 1000 years of grand India to come. We are standing on such a treaty and hence now we do not have to stop, nor do we have to live in dilemma.

My dear family members, taking pride in the lost heritage, while achieving the lost prosperity, let us once again believe that whatever we do, whatever step we take, whatever decision we make, it will last for the next 1000 years and is going to determine its direction. The youth who writes the fate of India, today I would like to say this to the youth of my country, to the sons and daughters of my country, the fortune that my youth have got today, hardly anyone has had the fortune, which you have received. And so we don't want to lose it. I have faith in the youth’s power, there is potential in the youth power and our policies and customs are also to provide more strength to that youth power.

Today my youth has given India a place in the first three startup economy systems of the world. The youth of the world is wondering regarding this power of India. Today the world is technology-driven and the coming era is going to be influenced by technology and then India's talent in technology is going to play a new role.

Comrades, recently, I went to Bali for the G-20 Summit and in Bali, the most prosperous countries of the world, their leaders, also the developed countries of the world, were eager to know about the success of India's Digital India and its nuances. Everyone used to ask this question and when I used to tell them that the wonders India has done are not limited to Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, the wonders India, even the youth is doing in Tier-2, Tier-3 cities Today they are shaping the fate of my country. My youth from small places, and I say with great confidence today that this new potential of the country is visible, and that is why I say that our small cities can be smaller in size and population but the hope and aspiration, effort and impact they have are second to none, they have that potential. New apps, new solutions, technology devices. Now look at the world of sports, who are the children, the children who came out of the slums are showing might in the world of sports today. The youth of small villages, small towns, our sons and daughters are showing wonders today. Now see, there are 100 schools in my country where children are making satellites and making preparations to release them. Today thousands of tinkering labs are conceiving new scientists. Today, thousands of tinkering labs are inspiring millions of children to take up the path of science and technology.

I want to tell the youth of my country that there is no dearth of opportunities, as many opportunities as you want, this country is capable of giving you more opportunities than the sky.

Today, from the ramparts of the Red Fort, I want to heartily congratulate the mothers, sisters and daughters of my country. Where the country has reached today, special power is being added to it, the power of my mothers and sisters. Today the country is on the path of progress, so I want to congratulate my farmer brothers and sisters. Today I bow down to the laborers of my country, my laborers, my dear family members and such crores of groups. I am congratulating him. Today, the country which is moving towards modernity, is seen with a power comparable to the world, behind this there is a huge contribution of the laborers of my country, today time says that from the ramparts of the Red Fort I congratulate him. Let me greet them and my family members, 140 crore countrymen of mine, we respect these workers, street vendors, flower-vegetable sellers. Professionals have been playing a huge role in taking my country forward, in taking my country to a new height of progress. Be it scientists, engineers, doctors, nurses, teachers, professors, universities, gurukuls, everyone is working with all their might to make the future of Mother India bright.

My dear family members, National consciousness is such a word which is liberating us from worries. And today that national consciousness is proving that India's biggest strength has been faith, India's biggest strength has been faith, our faith in people, people's faith in the government, people's faith in the country. Belief in bright future and the world also has faith in India. This belief is of our policies, of our custom. The bright future of India is due to the determined strong steps we are taking forward.

Brothers and sisters, my dear family members, it is certain that India's potential and India's possibilities are going to cross new heights of confidence and these new heights of confidence should be taken with new potential. Today, India has got the opportunity to host the G-20 Summit in the country. And for the last one year, the way many such G-20 events have been organized in every corner of India, many programs have been organized, it has made the world aware of the potential of the common man of the country. The diversity of India has been introduced. The world is watching India's diversity with wonder and because of that the attraction towards India has increased. The desire to know and understand India has arisen. In the same way you see, exports, today India's exports are increasing rapidly and I want to say that on the basis of all these parameters, the experts of the world are saying that now India is not going to stop. Any rating agency of the world would be making India proud. After the Corona period, the world has started thinking from a new angle. And I am seeing with confidence that the way a new world order took shape in the world after the Second World War, after the Second World War. I can clearly see that after Corona, a new world order, a new global order, a new geo-political equation, it is progressing very fast. All interpretations of the geopolitical equation are changing, definitions are changing. And my dear family members, you will be proud. Today, my 140 crore countrymen, your ability to shape the changing world is visible. You are standing at a turning point.

And the way India has taken the country forward during the Corona period, the world has seen our potential. When the supply chain of the world was destroyed, there was pressure on the big economy, at that time also we had said that if we want to see the development of the world, then it should be human-centered, full of human sensibilities, and then We will go and find the right solution to the problems and Kovid has taught us or forced us, but we cannot do the welfare of the world by leaving human sensibilities.

Today India is becoming the voice of the Global South. India's prosperity and heritage is becoming an opportunity for the world today. Friends, India's participation in the global economy, global supply chain, I say with full confidence, the situation that has arisen in India today, what India has earned today, has come with the guarantee of stability in the world. Now neither in our mind, nor in the mind of my 140 crore family members, nor in the mind of the world, there are any ifs, there are any buts, faith has been formed.

My dear countrymen, now the ball is in our court, we should not let the opportunity go, we should not miss the opportunity. I also congratulate my countrymen in India because my countrymen have the ability to understand the roots of the problems and therefore in 2014, after 30 years of experience, my countrymen decided that the country To move forward, a stable government is needed, a strong government is needed, a government with full majority is needed, and the countrymen have formed a strong and stable government. And for three decades, which was a period of uncertainty, which was a period of instability, the country was freed from political compulsions.

My dear family members, the country has such a government today, it is devoting every moment of time and every penny of the public's welfare for the well-being of the people, for the balanced development of the country, and the respect of my government and my countrymen is linked to one thing. Our every decision, our every direction has only one criterion, Nation First and Nation First, this is going to produce far-reaching results, positive results. Work is being done on a large scale in the country. But I would like to say that in 2014 you formed a strong government and I say that you formed a government in 2014 and 2019, so Modi got the courage to reform. You formed such a government that Modi got the courage to reform. And when Modi made reforms one after the other, the people of my bureaucracy, my millions of hands and feet, who are working as part of the government in every corner of India, they took the responsibility of performing to transform the bureaucracy. He fulfilled the responsibility very well and he showed it by performing and when the public and Janardhan joined, it is also visible to be transformed. And that's why this period of reform, perform, transform is now shaping the future of India. And our thinking is on promoting those forces of the country, which are going to strengthen the foundation of the coming thousand years. The world needs youth power, youth skills. We have created a separate skill ministry, it will not only fulfill the needs of India, it will also have the ability to fulfill the needs of the world. We created the Ministry of Jal Shakti. If he also analyzes the composition of the ministry, then you will be able to understand the mind and brain of this government in a very good way. We have created the Ministry of Jal Shakti, this Ministry of Jal Shakti is ours, we are emphasizing on the development of water-sensitive systems to ensure that pure drinking water reaches each and every countryman of our country, to protect the environment. After Corona in our country, the world is looking for holistic health care, this is the need of the hour. We created a separate Ministry of AYUSH and today Yoga and AYUSH are making waves in the world.

It is because of our commitment to the world that the world has paid attention to us. If we ourselves deny this ability of ours, then how will the world accept it. But when the ministry was formed, the world also understood its value. Fisheries Our such a big beach, our crores of fishermen brothers and sisters, their welfare is also in our heart and that is why we have created separate ministries for fisheries, animal husbandry and dairy so that the society Let us support the class of people who were left behind. There are parts of the government economy in the country, but a major part of the society's economy is the cooperative movement. Cooperative Ministry has been created and it is spreading its network through our cooperative institutions so that the poorest of the poor are heard there, their needs are met and they too can contribute to the development of the nation by being a part of a small unit. We have adopted the path of prosperity through cooperation.

My dear family members, when we came in 2014, we were at number 10 in the global economy and today the efforts of 140 crore countrymen have paid off that we have reached number 5 in the world economy. And this has not happened just like that when the demon of corruption was gripping the country, scams worth lakhs of crores were rocking the economy; We stopped the leakages, created a strong economy, we tried to spend maximum money for the welfare of the poor. And today I want to tell the countrymen that when the country is economically prosperous, it does not just fill the coffers; If there is a government that takes a pledge to do it, then how does the result come. I am giving the account of 10 years to my countrymen from the ramparts of the Red Fort in the witness of the tricolor. Seeing the figures, you will feel such a big change, such a big power. 10 years ago, 30 lakh crore rupees used to go to the states from the Government of India. In the last 9 years, this figure has reached 100 lakh crores.

Earlier, 70 thousand crore rupees were spent from the treasury of the Government of India for the development of local bodies, today it is going more than 3 lakh crores. Earlier, 90 thousand crore rupees were spent to build the houses of the poor, today it has increased 4 times and more than 4 lakh crore is being spent to build the houses of the poor. First the poor get cheap urea. The bags of urea which are sold for ₹ 3,000 in some markets of the world, my farmers got that bag of urea for ₹ 300 and that is why the government of the country is giving subsidy of ₹ 10 lakh crore to my farmers in urea. 20 lakh crore rupees have been given to the youth of my country for self-employment, for their business, for their business. 8 crore people have started new business and 8 crore people have started business, it is not that every businessman has given employment to one or two people. The 8 crore citizens who have benefited from the Mudra Yojana have the ability to provide employment to 8-10 crore new people. With the help of about three and a half lakh crore rupees to MSMEs, they were not allowed to drown even in the crisis of Corona, they were not allowed to die, they were given a strength. One rank one pension was a matter of respect for the soldiers of my country, 70 thousand crore rupees have reached from India's coffers today. My retired army heroes have reached their families in the pocket. I have listed only a few in all the categories, I do not want to take much time. In every category, many times more money than before, for the development of the country, to create employment in every nook and corner, every penny should be used to change the fortune of India and that is why we have worked.

My dear loved ones, not only this, the result of all these efforts we have made is that today in my tenure of 5 years, in 5 years, 13.5 crore of my poor brothers and sisters have come out in the form of new middle class by breaking the chains of poverty. There can be no greater satisfaction in life than this.

My dear dear family members, when 13.5 crore people came out of this problems of poverty, then what kind of schemes have helped them, they got the benefit of the housing scheme, 50 thousand crore rupees from the PM Swanidhi have reached the street vendors. In the coming days, we will further implement a program on the coming Vishwakarma Jayanti, on this Vishwakarma Jayanti, we will give about 13-15 thousand crore rupees to the people who live with traditional skills, who work with tools and with their own hands. , mostly from the OBC community. Be it our carpenters, our goldsmiths, our masons, our laundry workers, our hair cut brothers and sisters, our families, to give a new strength to such people, we will celebrate Vishwakarma Jayanti in the coming month. Will launch the scheme and start it with about 13-15 thousand crore rupees. We have deposited 2.5 lakh crore rupees in the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi directly into the accounts of the farmers of my country. We have spent two lakh crore rupees on the Jal Jeevan Mission to ensure that pure water reaches every household. We have started the Ayushman Bharat scheme so that the poor can get rid of the trouble they used to go to the hospital due to illness. He should get medicines, he should be treated, the operation should be done in the best hospital, we have spent 70 thousand crore rupees under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. Livestock The country remembers about the corona vaccine, 40 thousand crore rupees were spent, but you will be happy to know that we have spent about 15 thousand crore rupees for vaccination of livestock to save the livestock.

My dear countrymen, my dear family members, Jan Aushadhi Kendras have given a new strength to the senior citizens of the country, to the middle class families of the country. In a joint family, if someone gets diabetes, a bill of 2-3 thousand becomes natural. We gave the medicines which are available for Rs.100 in the market from Jan Aushadhi Kendra for Rs.10, Rs.15, Rs.20. And today, from 1000 Jan Aushadhi Kendras of the country, about 20 crore rupees are left in the pocket of such people who needed medicines for these diseases. And these are mostly people from middle class families. But seeing its success today, I want to tell the countrymen that we are going to touch that section of the society with a Vishwakarma scheme. Now, from 10,000 Jan Aushadhi Kendras in the country, we are going to work in the coming days with a target of 25,000 Jan Aushadhi Kendras.

My dear family members, when there is less poverty in the country, then the power of the middle class section of the country increases a lot. And I assure you that in the coming five years, Modi's guarantee is that the country will take its place in the first three world economies, it will definitely take place. Today the 13.5 crore people who have come out of poverty have in a way become a middle class force. When the purchasing power of the poor increases, the business power of the middle class increases. When the purchasing power of the village increases, the economic system of the town and city runs at a faster pace. And this interconnected is our Earth cycle. We want to move ahead by giving it strength.

My dear family members, the weak people who live inside the city, the trouble that remains without talking. Middle class families are dreaming of their own house. We are coming up with a plan for that too for the coming few years and in which my family members who live in cities but live in rented houses, live in slums, live in chawls, unauthorized colonies lives in. If my family members want to build their own house, then we have decided to help lakhs of rupees by giving relief within the interest of the loan they will get from the bank. If the income tax limit of my middle class family is increased from two lakh to seven lakh, then the biggest benefit is to the salary class, to my middle class. Internet data was very expensive before 2014. Now the world's cheapest internet is being spent on data, every family's money is being saved.

My dear family, the world has not yet emerged after Corona, the war has again created a new problem. Today the world is facing the crisis of inflation. Inflation has gripped the economy of the whole world. We also bring the goods which are needed from the world, so we import the goods, it is our misfortune that we have to import inflation as well. So this whole world has been gripped by inflation.

My dear family, India has tried its best to control inflation. Compared to the previous period, we have also got some success, but we cannot be satisfied with this much. We cannot think that our things are better than the world, I have to take more steps in this direction to minimize the burden of inflation on my countrymen. And we will continue to take that step. My efforts will continue.

My dear family members, today the country is moving forward with many capabilities. The country is working to move towards modernity. Today the country is working in renewable energy, today the country is working on green hydrogen, the country's capacity in space is increasing. So the country is moving ahead successfully in the deep sea mission as well. Rail is getting modern in the country, so Vande Bharat Bullet Train is also working inside the country today. Concrete roads are being built in every village, electric buses and metro are also being built in the country today. Today the internet is reaching every village, so the country is also working for quantum computers. Nano Urea and Nano DAP are being worked on and on the other hand we are also emphasizing on organic farming. Today the Farmers Producers Union (FPO) is being built, so we want to build semiconductors as well. As we work to build an accessible India for Divyangjan, we are also enabling my Divyangjan to hoist the tricolor flag of India in Paralympics. We are giving special training to the players.

Today, India is moving ahead with the vision of achieving the goals by leaving the old thinking and the old pattern. And when I say that the foundation stone of which is laid by our government, it is also inaugurated in our period. You all have left it in my destiny to inaugurate the foundation stone that I am laying these days. Our work culture, thinking big, thinking far away, thinking for the benefit of all and happiness for all has been our working style. And with this energy we work on how to achieve more than a thought, more than a resolution. We had resolved to make 75 thousand Amrit Sarovar in the Amrit Mahotsav of independence. At that time, we had resolved to make 75 Amrit Sarovar in every district. Around 50-55 thousand Amrit Sarovar was conceived. But today the work of construction of about 75 thousand Amrit Sarovar is going on. This in itself is a huge task. This power of manpower and water power is also going to be useful in protecting India's environment. Providing electricity to 18,000 villages, opening Jan Dhan bank accounts, building toilets for daughters, all the targets will be accomplished with full force before time. And when India takes a decision, it fulfills it, this is what our track record says.

200 crore vaccination work. When the world asks us, doesn't it, 200 crores listen, their eyes tear up, such a big task. My country's Anganwadi workers, our Asha workers, our health workers have shown this. This is the strength of my country. Rolled out 5-G, my country is the fastest in the world to roll out 5-G. We have reached more than 700 districts. And now preparing for 6-G also. We have made a task force. Renewable energy We have moved ahead of the target. The target we had set for renewable energy by 2030, we have completed it in 2021-2022. We had talked about 20 percent blending in ethanol, that too we have completed five years ahead of time. We had talked about exports of 500 billion dollars, that too before the time it was increased to more than 500 billion dollars. We decided, which was being discussed in our country for 25 years, that a new parliament should be formed in the country. There was no such session of the Parliament, for the new Parliament, it is Modi who has made the new Parliament ahead of time, my dear brothers and sisters. This is a government that works, a government that surpasses the set targets, this is a new India, this is an India full of self-confidence, this is an India that is working hard to make its resolutions a reality. And so this India does not stop, this India does not tire, this India does not gasp and this India does not give up. And that's why my dear family members, economic power is full, our strategic power has got new strength, our borders have become more secure than before and my soldiers sitting on the border, my soldiers who are guarding the country's borders and my On this auspicious festival of independence, I extend my point by extending many congratulations to the uniform forces who look after the internal security of the country. Our army should be empowered, our army should be young, our army should be ready for battle, it should be capable of fighting, that's why the work of continuous reform is being done in our army today.

My dear family members, everyday we used to hear, there was a bomb blast here, there was a bomb blast there. It was written everywhere that don't touch this bag, announcements used to happen. Today the country is feeling secure and when there is security and peace, we can fulfill new aspirations of progress. For him, the era of serial bomb blasts has become a thing of the past. The death of innocents has become a thing of the past. Today there has been a drastic reduction in terrorist attacks in the country. There has been a big change in the naxal affected areas also, an environment of big change has been created.

My dear family members, there is progress in everything, but when we are moving ahead with the dream of a developed India by 2047, and that is not a dream, it is a resolution of 140 crore countrymen. And to prove that resolution, there is the culmination of hard work and its biggest strength is national character. The countries which have made progress in the world, the countries which have come out of the crisis in the world, along with everything else, there has been an important catalytic agent, that has been the national character. And we have to move forward by giving more emphasis to the national character. May our country, our national character be bright, bright, manly, mighty, intense; This is the collective responsibility of all of us. And for the coming 25 years, we should follow only one mantra, this should be the pinnacle of our national character. The message of unity, living the unity of India, the unity of India should not be harmed, neither my language will be like this, nor will I do any step like this. Efforts will continue to be made from my side to connect the country every moment. India's unity gives us strength. Be it north, be it south, be it east, be it west, be it village, be it city, be it man, be it woman; We all have the power of unity with the sense of unity and in a country full of diversity and secondly I see the importance, if we want to see our country as a developed India in 2047 then we have to live the mantra of Shreshtha Bharat, we have to characterize.

Now in our production, I had said in 2014, zero defect, zero effect. If there is a Make in India item on any table in the world, then the world should believe, nothing can be better than this. It will be ultimate, our everything, our services will be best, our words will be best, our institutions will be best, our decision making processes will be best. We have to walk with this sense of superiority. Thirdly, to move forward in the country, the potential of an additional power is going to take India forward and that is women-led development. Today, India can proudly say that if any one country has the maximum number of women pilots in civil aviation in the world, then my country has them. Today, whether it is the speed of Chandrayaan, whether it is about the moon mission, my women-scientist is leading it. Today there should be women self-help groups, with the aim of my 2 crore Lakhpati Didi, today we are working on women self-help groups. We, while promoting the potential of our women power, women-led development and when I have taken forward the topics of women-led development in G-20, the whole G-20 group is accepting its importance and accepting its importance. By doing this, they are giving him a lot of power. Similarly, India is a country full of diversities. We have been a victim of unbalanced development, some parts of our country have been its victims because of my alienation. Now we have to give emphasis to regional aspirations for balanced development and giving due respect to that feeling regarding regional aspirations, as if any part of our mother India, our body remains undeveloped, then our body will not be considered developed. If any part of our body remains weak, then we will not be considered healthy, similarly, if any part of my mother India, even a section of the society remains weak, then we cannot sit thinking that my mother India is strong and healthy. . And that's why we need to address regional aspirations and that's why we want to move forward in the direction of all-round development of the society, all-round development, every region of the region gets an opportunity to blossom in its own strength.

My dear family members, India is a mother of democracy, India is also a model of diversity. There are many languages, many dialects, many costumes, many variations. We have to move forward on the basis of all of them.

My dear family members, when I talk about the unity of the country, if an incident happens in Manipur, there is pain in Maharashtra, if floods happen in Assam, Kerala becomes restless. Whatever happens in any part of India, we feel the spirit of organ donation. The daughters of my country should not be oppressed, it is our social responsibility as well, it is our family responsibility as well and it is the responsibility of all of us as a country. Today, when the form of Guru Granth Sahib is brought back from Afghanistan, the whole country feels proud. Today, when in any country of the world, during the time of Kovid, a Sikh brother of mine sets up langar, feeds the hungry and there is applause in the world, then India's heart swells.

My dear family members, for us when women talk about respect. Just now, I was visiting a country where a very senior minister asked me a question, where do your daughters study science and engineering subjects? I told them that today in my country more daughters than boys are taking STEM i.e. science, technology, engineering and maths, my daughters are taking maximum part, so it was a surprise for them. This capability of our country is visible today.

My dear family members, today 10 crore women are involved in women self help and if you go to village with women self help group, you will find didi with bank, you will find didi with anganwadi, you will find didi who gives medicines and now my dream is 2 crore millionaires. To make didi, 2 crore millionaire didi in the village. And sent a new alternative for this, science and technology. I see the potential of the women of our village and therefore I am thinking of a new plan that technology should come in our agriculture sector, agritech should be strengthened, so we will give training to the sisters of Women Self Help Group. We will give training to operate drones, repair drones and the Government of India will provide drones to thousands of such Women Self Help Groups, they will provide training and we will start to make drone services available for our agricultural work, initially we will start 15 thousand Women Self Help Groups. We are starting this drone flight through Help Group.

My dear family members, today the country is moving towards modernity. Be it Highway, Railway, Airway, I-Ways, Information Ways, Water Ways, there is no area in which the country is not working towards progressing today. In the last 9 years, we have given a lot of emphasis on development in the coastal areas, in the tribal areas, in our hilly areas. We have given strength to that section of the society through schemes like Parvat Mala, Bharat Mala. We have done the work of connecting our eastern India with gas pipeline. We have increased the number of hospitals. We have increased the number of doctors' seats so that our children can fulfill their dream of becoming doctors. We have changed teaching in mother tongue and in that direction they can study in mother tongue and I also thank the Supreme Court of India that the Supreme Court of India has said that the judgment which will be given now will be the operative part of it. The one who has come to the court, will be available to him in his language. The importance of mother tongue is increasing today.

My dear family members, till date, we have started a program of Vibrant Border Village in the Border Villages of our country and till now Vibrant Border Village was said to be the last village of the country, we have changed that whole thinking. It is not the last village of the country, the one visible on the border is the first village of my country. If the sun rises in the east, the village on that side receives the first ray of sunlight. If the sun sets, the village on this side gets its benefit of the last ray. This is my first village and I am happy that today my special guests in this program, this is the first village, a border village, its 600 heads have come today to be a part of this important program at the ramparts of the Red Fort. He has come this far for the first time. Have come to join with new determination and strength.

My dear family members, we envisioned Aspirational District, Aspirational Block for balanced development and today we are getting happy results. Today, the normal parameters of the state, the Aspirational Districts, which were once far behind, have started doing well in the state as well and I am sure that in the coming days, our aspirational districts, our aspirational blocks will definitely move forward. As I said, I was talking about India's character, first I said about India's unity, secondly I said that India should focus on excellence, thirdly I said about women development. And today I want to say one more thing that as we have said about the fourth point, regional aspiration is the fifth important thing and India has now moved in that direction and that is our national character, we should think for the betterment of the world. We have to make the country so strong that it can play its role for the welfare of the world. And today after Corona, I am seeing, the way the country helped the world in the time of crisis, the result is that today our country is in the form of a world friend in the world. As an unbreakable companion of the world. Today the identity of my country has been made. When we talk about World Mars, then the basic idea of India is that we are the people who take forward that idea and I am happy that today many elected dignitaries of the US Parliament are also among us on this occasion of 15th August. are present in What is the thinking of India, how do we take forward the matter of World Mars. Now see, when we think, what do we say, we have put this philosophy in front of the world, and the world is joining us with that philosophy. We said One Sun, One World, One Grid. Our statement is very big in the field of renewable energy, today the world is accepting it. After Kovid, we told the world that our approach should be One Earth, One Health. Problems will be solved only when humans, animals and plants are addressed equally in times of illness, then we will do this. We have said in front of the world for the G-20 Summit, One World, One Family, One Future, we are moving forward with this thought. We have shown the way for the climate crisis the world is facing, we have launched a live mission Lifestyle For Environment. Together we formed the International Solar Alliance in front of the world and today many countries of the world are becoming a part of the International Solar Alliance. Seeing the importance of bio-diversity, we have taken forward the arrangement of Big Cat Alliance. We need far-reaching arrangements for the damage caused to the infrastructure due to global warming due to natural calamities. and so Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure , CDRI has given to the world as a solution. Today the world is making seas the center of conflict, then we have given the world the platform of oceans. Which can become a guarantee of global maritime peace. We have worked towards setting up a global level center of WHO in India by giving emphasis to the traditional system of medicine. We have worked towards world welfare and world health through Yoga and AYUSH. Today, India is laying a strong foundation for World Mars. It is the job of all of us to take this strong foundation forward. We all have responsibility.

My dear family members, the dreams are many, the resolution is clear, the policies are clear. There is no question mark in front of Niyat. But we have to accept some realities and to solve them, my dear family members, today I have come to seek your help from the Red Fort, I have come to seek your blessings from the Red Fort. Because in the last years what I have understood the country, what I have seen the needs of the country. And on the basis of experience I am saying that today we have to take those things seriously. In the golden age of independence, in 2047, when the country will celebrate 100 years of independence, at that time the tricolor flag of India in the world should be the tricolor flag of developed India; Transparency and fairness are the first strong needs. It should be our collective responsibility to give as much fertilizer and water to that strength as we can, through institutions, as citizens, as families. And that's why look at the history of the last 75 years, there was no dearth in India's potential and why can't this country, which was once called the golden bird, stand again with that potential. Friends, my dear family members, I have an unwavering belief that in 2047, when the country will celebrate 100 years of independence, my country will be a developed India. And I am saying this on the basis of the strength of my country. Saying on the basis of my available resources and most of all on the basis of my youth power under 30 years of age. I am telling this on the strength of my mothers and sisters, but if there is any hindrance in front of it, in the last 75 years some works have been done in such houses, it has become such a part of our social system that sometimes even we Let's turn it off. Now is not the time to close your eyes. If the dreams have to be fulfilled, the resolutions have to be crossed, then it is the need of the hour to fight the three evils by turning an eye to eye. Corruption is at the root of all the problems of our country, like a termite, it has completely snatched away all the systems of the country, all the capabilities of the country. Freedom from corruption, fight against corruption in every unit, in every sector and I countrymen, my dear family members, it is the commitment of Modi's life, it is the commitment of my personality that I will continue to fight against corruption. Second, familyism has snatched our country. The way this family system has held the country tight, it has taken away the rights of the people of the country, and the third evil is appeasement. This appeasement has also stained the basic thinking of the country, our all-inclusive national character. These people destroyed everything. And therefore my dear countrymen, therefore my dear family members, we have to fight against these three evils with all our might. Corruption, nepotism, appeasement, these challenges, these things have flourished which suppress the aspirations of the people of our country. It exploits whatever little power some people of our country have. These are the things that put the hopes and aspirations of our people in question. Be it our poor, be it Dalit, be it backward, be it Pasmanda, be it our tribal brothers and sisters, be it our mothers or sisters, we all have got rid of these three evils for their rights. We have to create an atmosphere of hatred against corruption. Just as dirt creates hatred in our mind, we do not like dirt, there can be no bigger filth than this in public life. And that's why we have to give a new twist to our cleanliness campaign that we have to get rid of corruption. The government is making a lot of efforts to get rid of corruption through technology. You would be surprised to know, in the last 9 years in this country, I did one thing like this; If you listen to the figure, you will feel that Modi acts as if I have stopped the wrong benefits that nearly 10 crore people used to take. So someone among you will say that you have done injustice to the people; No, who were these 10 crore people, these 10 crore people were those people who were not even born and in their name they used to become widows, they used to get old, they used to become disabled, they used to take benefits. Were. The pious task of stopping 100 million such benami things that used to go on, the property of the corrupt that we have seized, isn't it, is 20 times more than before.

My dear family members, these people ran away after taking your hard earned money. Confiscating 20 times more property, and hence people's resentment towards me is very natural. But I have to take forward the fight against corruption. Due to our government system, earlier something used to happen in front of the camera, but later things used to get stuck. We have done many times more chargesheets in the court than before and now we are not even getting bails, we are moving forward by taking such a firm system, because we are honestly fighting against corruption. Today, familyism and appeasement have caused great misfortune to the country. Now how can this happen in democracy that political party, and I am giving special emphasis on political party, today there has been such a distortion in the democracy of my country that can never strengthen India's democracy and what is that disease, familial Parties. And what is their mantra, party of the family, by the family and for the family. Their life mantra is that their political party, their political party is of the family, by the family and for the family. Nepotism and nepotism are enemies of talents, deny abilities, do not accept potential. And therefore, for the strength of the democracy of this country of familyism, its liberation is necessary. Sarvajan Hitaya Sarvajan Sukhay, everyone should get rights, so it is very important for social justice as well, in the same way appeasement has done the biggest harm to social justice. If someone has destroyed social justice, then this appeasement thinking, appeasement politics, government schemes for appeasement, it has killed social justice. And that's why we find appeasement, corruption, these are the biggest enemies of development. If the country wants development, the country wants to fulfill the dream of 2047, developed India, then it is necessary for us that we will not tolerate corruption in the country under any circumstances, we should walk with this mood.

My dear family members, we all have a very important responsibility, the way you have lived, forcing our future generation to live such a life, it is our crime, it is our responsibility to give such a prosperous country to our future generation. Give such a balanced country, such a country with the legacy of social justice, that they never have to struggle to get even the smallest things. All of us have a duty, every citizen has a duty and this is the time of immortality. We cannot back down from our duty, we have to make the India which was the dream of revered Bapu, we have to make the India which was the dream of our freedom fighters, we have to make the India which was of our martyrs, our It belonged to the heroines who gave their lives for the motherland.

My dear family members, when I came to you in 2014, then in 2014 I came with the promise of change. In 2014, I promised you that I will bring change. And 140 crore of my family members, you have trusted me and I have tried to fulfill the trust. Reform, Perform, Transform The promise that was there for 5 years turned into a belief because I had promised transformation. Through Reform, Perform, Transform, I have converted this promise into a belief. Have worked hard, done it for the country, done it with pride, done it only and only with the feeling of nation first. You all have blessed me again on the basis of my performance in 2019. The promise of change got me here, the performance got me back and the next 5 years are of phenomenal growth. The biggest golden moment for realizing the dream of 2047 is the coming 5 years. And next time on August 15, from this Red Fort, I will present to you the achievements of the country, your capabilities, your resolve, the progress made in it, its success, glorifying it with even more confidence.

My dear loved ones, my family members, I come from you, I came out of you, I live for you. Even if I dream, it comes for you. Even if I sweat, it is for you, not because you have given me a responsibility, I am doing it because you are my family and as a member of your family, I cannot see any of your sorrows. I can't stand watching your dreams shatter. I am a person who has gone with a resolution to be your partner, to be your servant, to be associated with you, to live with you, to fight for you, to take your resolution to perfection and I believe in our The dreams that our ancestors had fought for freedom, those dreams are with us. The blessings of those who made sacrifices in the freedom struggle are with us and such an opportunity has come for 140 crore countrymen, this opportunity has brought a great strength for us.

My dear family members, my family members living in every corner of the world, I once again extend my best wishes to all of you on the auspicious festival of Independence. And this amrit kaal is the duty time for all of us. This Amrit Kaal is the time for all of us to do something for Maa Bharti. When the war of independence was going on, the generation who was born before 1947 got the opportunity to die for the country. He did not leave any chance to die for the country, but we do not have the chance to die for the country. But there cannot be a bigger opportunity than this for us to live for the country. We have to live every moment for the country, along with this resolution, we also have to make a resolution for the dreams of 140 crore countrymen in this immortal period. The resolution of 140 crore countrymen has to be converted into achievement and when the tricolor flag will be hoisted in 2047, then the world will be praising a developed India. With this belief, with this determination, I wish all of you many, many best wishes. Many many congratulations.

Jai Hind, Jai Hind, Jai Hind!

Bharat Mata ki Jai, Bharat Mata ki Jai, Bharat Mata ki Jai!

Vande Mataram, Vande Mataram, Vande Mataram!

Thank you very much!
