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 15th 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.

Jai Hind.
