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.

Jai Hind.
