HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

I really too love day .I remember when I was in school, many programs conducted for this day, we were really very excited for this, we prepared ourselves before one weak. We all participate in dance, song & many extracurricular activities. . It brings tear in our eyes how our country got independence. How they sacrifice for our country. How was our country, how our people. I really too love history. As it tell us about our past culture & about us. I FEEL PROUD TO SAY THIS MY COUNTRY IS AN OLD COUNTRY & I TOO LOVE IT. No matter what’s position right now, but there was a time when many things invent from our country like ZERO.  So I feel proud, but now the corrupted polities suck our country. In this independence I pray before my GOD we need a good government & we need some change in our system.

I remembered I too love to give speech, seriously telling <not telling lie, I am not telling about my present status. I am telling about my past >.  In every function I love to give speech & my grandpapa helped me a lot, he always writes the speech for me. His words were awesome, as I was belongs to ORIYA MEDIUM so I always gave speech in Oriya & using ornamental words. my grandpapa was great he always prepared how to speak , he taught me a lot & my great mentor. from my childhood days I had a problem , many words I can’t pronounce well , that’s the reason most of the time I offended before many people. But for him I always succeed in my speech, even if I had got many prizes for this also. I didn’t fear as I practice a lot & I usually give speech in every occasion but my life changed after 9^TH GRADE… now I really fear to speak before many people, I don’t fear to speak I fear if people laugh at me as I am not too habituated with English wordings, I can write well but I get nervous while I give any speech in English. I have to mark everything at that time, that’s why I fear to give speeches, this is the only reason. If anyone will tell me to give speech in Oriya, I can able to give 1-2 hour...i have no problem. THIS IS THE ACTUAL TRUE FACT. I don’t feel shame to tell I can't speak well in English; this is the bitter truth, which I don’t wanna hide. But now I am trying to prove myself that I CAN GIVE SPEECH WELL IN ENGLISH  & I wanna develop my English speaking style. 
As I know its importance in my day today life.

So now I have prepaid a beautiful speech & article about our history for my country …today is independence day. So it’s an Independence Day article, hope you all like it.

SPEECH –

<The body part>

My dear friends, we were the privileged lot to have been born in free India. We were able to breathe the fresh free air since our birth. Before 1947 every Indian those days to fight against those powerful giants – the British rulers. We must not allow those hard times and struggles fade away from our memories. Hence it is befitting for us to celebrate such National festivals and recall those heroic deeds of our National heroes. We remember them today. Right from Mahatma Gandhi to the local patriotic leaders. When we regard those martyrs who laid their precious lives for our sake, we must not ignore the common people who sacrificed their lot for the good cause. There were farmers, land lords, businessmen, teachers, writers, poets and students who helped the land achieve the long cherished freedom. Today we have come a long way in the path of free India. We have proved ourselves worthy of freedom. We are considered as the largest democracy in the world.  E is proud of it and feels very happy about all these positive aspects. But are we blind to the black clouds surrounding us? Are we very successful in using our freedom in the right manner? If so, why should there be so many bomb blasts, killings, attacks on government offices, cases against so many politicians and so many unstable governments?

Well my dear friends, what can a student do at this day? Should we go and catch the terrorists? Should we fight against the corrupted politicians? Or should we take over the country into our hands by waging another war for freedom? No, we are not expected to do all these things. We must keep observing things around us. We will have our own day. Before that, let us do our duty of preparing ourselves to be well-educated citizens of tomorrow. Let us do our duty sincerely and study hard to achieve a goal. Today we require youngsters with lot of knowledge and energy. Illiteracy is the first enemy for a democratic nation. Let us get rid of illiteracy and take India to a bright future.

HISTORY –

The history behind Indian independence is very painful and is full of sacrifices. And only because of

Those sacrifices India freed herself from the shackles of British Empire on 15th August 1947. It was an endless struggle of millions faceless Indians, who made the inhabitants united and fought for the freedom of their own country.

The year 1857 is a benchmark in the history of Indian independence. On 29th march 1875, a brave Indian soldier first ever raised his voice against the British Empire and later it resulted to Espy Mutiny.  The name of the Indian soldier was Mangle Pander, and the reason behind his revolt was, low wages of Indian workers than other British soldiers, racial discrimination and cultural misunderstandings. And another strong reason was the packing of the cartridges which was believed to be greased with cow and pig fat and soldiers had to tear the packing with their teeth in order to use it. And that was something which considered being very unholy for the Hindu soldiers. Combination of all these issues led to the violent uprising of Barrakpore Sepoy mutiny. Mangal Pandey, the Hindu soldier of the 34th Native infantry was hanged as because he had shot his sergeant major on the parade ground. This incident fanned the fire of the revolution.  On 10th may of the same year the enraged Indian soldiers and the common civilians of Meerut joined their hands to protest against the ill-treatment of the British on some native soldiers. Later this revolt took a big form but it was eventually put down by the effective British military.

In next few decades there were many small and big wars fought against the empire. Among these wars most prominent were the Battle of Kanpur led by Nana Shahib of Bittur, the Battle of Jhansi led by the Queen of Jhansi Rani Laxmibai and Tantia Tope, the fight of Arrah in Bihar led Kunwar Singh the landlord of Jagdishpur and the war at Lucknow led by Hazrat Begum. These battles were the indications of the discontent of the Indians against their European rulers.

In 20th century, the dissatisfaction towards the British Government began to take a concrete shape.  In the beginning of 1900 there were several revolutionary groups sprang up in different parts of the country such as Bengal, Punjab, Gujrat, Assam and the southern states of India. Several extremist organizations with arms started to sprang up with one aim that is to earn freedom through violent activities. This discontentment for freedom was not without reason. The British Government never treated the Indian natives with the deserving respect. They are always considered as low-lives comparing to the British counterparts. They don’t treat them with leniency even for the small crimes while the British civilians were being let off, even if they were found guilty of committing murders. In every path of their lives the Indians found themselves deprived. Some political groups such as Congress were formed to convey the voices of millions anguished natives to the British Empire in a peaceful manner. Some of the iconic leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, Jawaharlal Nehru and Lala Lajpat Rai , had tried to attain freedom through peaceful means. On the other hand personalities like Mastarda Surya Sen, Chandrasekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, had taken extreme measure to snatch freedom from the British Empire.

In 1930 Mahatma Gandhi started the famous “Salt March” and after that in 1942 he started the “Quit India Movement”. The amount of public support and remonstration was more than before. All those things which were Western were burnt or thrown away. Purna Swaraj or total freedom was demanded from the British Government. In answer to this protest the British Government imprisoned thousands of Congress leaders and civilians along with Gandhi. Subhash Chandra Bose, who idealisms were extremist, got drifted from Congress and formed a new party named the All India Forward Block Party and launched his own army named Indian National Army (INA). And by this military might he tried to attain freedom from the clutches of the British Empire. Initially they were successful. But with the sudden demise of Netaji (as Subhash Chandra Bose was popularly known to his countrymen) the entire nation saw the evanescent of the INA.

Later with two successive world wars, the resources of the British Empire were eventually drained to a certain extent that they found it really very difficult to manage India. And on top of that the huge discontent of the native Indians who wanted British to leave their country at any cost was driving them crazy. Non violent protests as well as extremist activities were being carried out on the daily basis. On this scenario the British was clear about one thing that their reign over this country were going to be over soon.

At last the day came, in the year 1947, June 3rd Viscount Louis Mountbatten, the last British Governor-General of India, declared that the British will leave the Indian subcontinent. But before leaving India they had decided to split up their Indian British Empire into secular India and Muslim Pakistan. This was done because the Muslims in India felt that their demands were not thoroughly represented by the Congress. And after the desired freedom they would not have equal opportunities as the Congress. They thought that after independence the Congress would give preference to the Hindus and therefore this thought lead to the demand for a separate nation. Pakistan was officially announced as an independent nation on 14th August 1947. And at midnight, on 15th August 1947, India was declared to be an independent nation by her first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

When we celebrated the festivals
They played with their blood the game of Holy,
When we were sitting safe at our homes,
They dealt with deadly bullets and bombs.
Blessed they were those soldiers,
each soldier who died on the border,
is a brave son of our nation

One killed tens of the enemy,
and then fell down unconsciously.
Don't you ever forget their glory,
so I narrate this noble story?

Here I wish

Every Indian should pray for our heroes

Our prayer should be like this
oh my great Indians

I bow my head before you

We couldn’t forget & can’t also

You are always alive in our heart

You are a true hero

You are a true brother & son of our nation

Today, I salute to you

We can’t forget you & your great sacrifice

O my people oh my people

O my people of my motherland

Wake up wake up

How can you sleep?

How can you forget?

This day we got a new life

Victory to India!
Victory to India!

Let’s be together

Let’s sing a song

Take a promise to help each other

Take a promise to live together
