Happy Independence Day 2018 Speech for Students and Teachers

Independence Day 2018 Speech 01:

Honorable Chief Guest of the day, distinguished guests for the occasion, teachers, parents and all my dear friends, 

This day 15th August of every year is a golden day engraved in the history of the world. We got freedom on this date and it is a day worth a celebration. When we celebrate it hoisting the flag, playing our National Anthem with fervor, distributing sweets, we need to sail back into the past to remember and pay homage to the builders of our nation.

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. If at all we want to know the pangs of the agony of being slaves under a foreign rule, we must ask our elders born before 1947. It was indeed a Himalayan task for 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 we owe our gratitude. 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, landlords, businessmen, teachers, writers, poets and students who helped the land achieve the long-cherished freedom.

Today we have come a long way on the path of free India. We have proved ourselves worthy of freedom. We are considered the largest democracy in the world. How proud we were when Abhinav Bindra made our National Flag flutter and 'Jana Gana Mana’ played in the background in Beijing? We are proud of it and feel 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 juncture? 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 a lot of knowledge and energy. Illiteracy is the first enemy of a democratic nation. Let us get rid of illiteracy and take India to a bright future. 

Jai Hind

Independence Day 2018 Speech 002

Good Morning!

We have assembled here to celebrate our 62nd Independence Day. As a citizen of India, I am so proud to talk to you about my mother India.

On the night of August 14, 1947, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru rose to make a maiden speech in New Delhi, “When the world sleeps, India will wake to life and freedom.” Yes, India became free from the bondage of British rule. 

Now, India is the largest democratic country in the world. The country's strength is to find, “Unity in diversity”. But, there are stray incidents that test her secularism but the people of India are ready to sacrifice anything for the cause of unity.

Today we remember the great leaders who gave their lives for the nation's freedom and prosperity.

Dr. B.R.Ambedkar gave the longest written constitution to us. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru worked for an industrialized India.

Gandhiji taught us Ahimsa and Non-violence. Subash ChandraBose inducted courage in us. Swami Vivekananda gave us spiritual power.

Yes, with these contributions, India will be the superpower in the coming years.

Our former President Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam called the children of India to dream to build a strong Nation with aim and perseverance. Indeed! This is not a word of a single man. It is the word of one billion souls.

Hail India!

Jai Hind!

Independence Day 2018 Speech 003

Good morning India…….!

On this 15th day of August 2008, I wish to share a few of my thoughts with my fellow Indians. Today, we claim to have proudly completed 61 years of Independence and often, we state; “I am proud to be an Indian”. But, today, I ask,“How far have we gone to respect our freedom. ”Are we abusing our freedom?”

“Is it enough to feel proud of what renowned Indians did earlier?” I think what's more important is how we repay, which is, in fact, shameful enough. Look around you. Life’s a mess. There are so many people with hope in their eyes and fire in their belly, but no food and clothing, and are only left with a tear in their eyes. Still, they try to smile through it and pray hard and even harder each day for help. But, who is to answer their prayers. Do we hear their cries? We are all ignorant, aren’t we? Is this the way we salute our freedom? We, often, forget that it is not us, personally who deserve this independence, but the nation as a whole. Then, why do we leave out the materialistically weak?

We are all equal, whether we accept it or not. So, let us learn to stay that way, to live together. It’s important to make everyone feel wanted. Looking down upon the poor and downtrodden, or looking up to rich, is not what was meant to be because believe it or not, we were born with nothing and will die with nothing. There’s no secret element to being special. All you need to do is believe in yourself and others around you to be special. Make everyone feel special, coz that’s a true Indian.

Be an Indian, not today, not tomorrow, but for every day of the year. Learn to believe and treat yourself as an Indian. Remember, a show of love or tribute to the nation is much different from real love and respect for our country and nationality. Even if we do not hoist the flag or chant the national anthem today, but, for each day of the year, we say a good word to someone, lend a helping hand, or even think a good thought - - - that’s what’s more important. Even a simple “Thank you” to a rickshaw driver or a waiter means a lot. It makes him feel content and needed. To spread goodness, it is essential to be its source i.e. good yourself.

Now we often hear each other saying, “Why should I do this?”, “Why should I help”, “Don’t be so considerate, others won’t think about you.” How far are we correct when we say such things? Do we give the benefit of doubt to others? We need to individually and collectively work towards a better future for all (and not a few). This is possible only through our good deeds.

When we think of ourselves as one nation, it comes without saying that only pious actions will result in a positive and uplifting future. Impious and reprehensible actions will only bring about negative, unwanted and troublesome reactions to endure in the future. The nation itself fosters its future according to the good or bad activities of its citizens. So whatever reactions this country will endure in its future, whether it be harvests of plenty, a good economy, or starvation from famine and drought, victory over our enemies or destruction from war, depends on the way we live today.

When we see, therefore, that people in certain areas of our country are suffering from drought, that farmers cannot grow their crops, that fires are consuming vast forests and destroying homes, that storms are causing destruction and devastation to cities and towns, or incurable diseases are affecting more and more people all the time, we should not miss the message. It is easy to ask ourselves, "Why has God done this to me?" or "Why has He allowed this to happen?" and then try to put the blame on someone else. But why should such reversals in life not happen to us? What have we done to avoid it? Usually nothing.

When we stop to consider that as many as a hundred million animals and a billion birds are slaughtered every year, and hundreds of thousands more are tortured and killed for useless purposes, does anyone wonder why there should not be a heavy reaction to the cries of pain from so many innocent living being as they are butchered in order to satisfy mankind's thoughtless cravings? Everyone wants to be happy and live in peace, but how can there be peace when so many other entities suffer or are killed each day so that their corpses can be sold in supermarkets?

This is coupled with the widespread torture of people by people. There is torture and fighting off people for being of a different religion. “Why do we always let our past affect our present?” Further, family crisis, such as discontent, arguments, separation, and divorce, community wars, such as gang wars, crime, robberies, murders, and rape, and industrial and economic wars as well. These affect millions of people every day, and it is nothing more than a reflection of our own consciousness. 

If I’m not wrong, perhaps the most important idea developed when we think of religion is the concept of Karma, which means "action," that is, anything that you do. This is solely the responsibility of us as individuals. But, how many of us consider this before we act? Not many.

Recently I came across an interesting note; “Yesterday was History, 

Tomorrow is a mystery, But, 

Today is a Gift – That’s why it’s called ‘Present’ 

“ Let it be a gift for everyone and not only us few. Let each one of us cherish our independence together and not at the cost of each other. 

Our being an Indian lies in our hearts and our actions towards others……So, why not lend a helping hand to everyone who needs us…..I don’t think it would hurt our ego…Would it?

Something that most of us must have heard, but seldom implement;- “Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds”. 

Fifty to Sixty years down the line, when I’m old and I look back at my life, I want to feel proud to be an Indian and not just say that I am.
