The love for the country and that zeal to undergo any kind of hardships for the country

is called
patriotism. Patriotism teaches us to love our country and embrace the whole humanity. It
enlightens people about their predominant duties towards the nation. Feeling of patriotism is the
actual spirit that seeks happiness through supreme sacrifice for the country and enables us to step
forward for doing our bit for our country. Here we are providing you four (4) speeches to help
you attempt this topic at any event or occasion. So, make the best use of these speeches and
come out with flying colours in yours studies.

Speech on Patriotism – 1
Respected CEO, Manager and Supervisors, Dear Colleagues and all other Friends!

Today is the day when we had received our Independence from the British and our nation
became the Independent country in 1947. Like every year, we have gathered here to celebrate the
Independence Day and pay tribute to all those great people who have sacrificed and are still
sacrificing their lives for guarding and securing the Independence.

I am highly honoured to get an opportunity to deliver a speech on Patriotism. This topic is very
sensitive for me because I love my nation, my country very much. We all know how much
difficulties and hardships, freedom fighters have faced in order to make India free. The feeling
and sensitivity of Patriotism is vital for the Freedom of any Country. A patriotic person is one
who is always prepared to sacrifice his/her life for the need and love of his/her country.

Patriotism is one of the best qualities one can have. It is a pious feeling of the mind. Thankfully,
we live in the Independent country unlike our great freedom fighters, who had to win it after a lot
of struggle and sacrifice. Now, we really don’t have to struggle every day to survive as much as
they did.

So, remembering all those great people who have fought for our Independence, we are filled with
feelings patriotism. Great people like Mahatma Gandhi, Shahid Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and
Sukhdev, Subhash Chandra Bose, Lala Lajpat Rai, Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel and many more
saints struggled hard till their last breath, only for the reason that they wanted to see their
countrymen live a life in harmony. It is only because of their noble cause that the world still
remembers them. However, there are several anti-social elements in our society, who try to spoil
the image of our country.

Now-a-days, we see in news, etc that some section of young students from some universities
speak against their country. Such people don’t respect the hardships of the Freedom fighters and
our Armed forces who protect us every second.

Patriotism can be fulfilled through various other means. Not necessarily, everyone needs to be a
freedom fighter or should be serving the Army, Navy or the Air Force. You can exhibit your love
towards the nation by being a part of Clean India popularly known as ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan’
or you can help poor, old or needy people, save water, save environment, etc. You may join non-
government-organisations (NGOs) and help the needy people. In winters by distributing blankets
or in summers by distributing water, you may display your love towards the mankind and thus
show your true heroism and patriotism. Patriotism does not only mean to struggle for the
freedom of one’s country, it also includes the honest feeling and true love for the country and
countrymen which can be displayed through passionate work for the country’s development.

Love your country and show it in your actions.

Thank you!
