Independence Day in India is the most important day for every Indian citizen as our country got freedom from British rule. We celebrate this day every year on the 15th of August from 1947. Our country is counted as the world’s largest democracy all over the world. India become an independent country on 15th of August in 1947 after sacrifices of thousands of freedom fighters (such as Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Moulana Abul Kalam Azad, Sukhdev, Gopal Krishna Gokhale, Lala Lajpat Rai, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Chandra Shekhar Azad, etc) who worked hard to get independence from the British rule.

Each and every Indian celebrates his/her freedom in their own way such as decorating their places of celebration, raising National Flag, march past, watching favorite movies, dancing in the streets, singing National Anthem or patriotic songs or participating in many social activities organized at public places. Independence Day is celebrated by the government of India every year when the current Prime Minister of India raises out the tricolor national flag at the Red Fort in Delhi followed by Indian army parade, march past, National Anthem recitation, speech, and other cultural activities.

Independence Day in India is celebrated with the National Flag salute by the 21 guns firing. Similarly, Independence Day celebration takes place in every state of the country where the Governor and the Chief Minister of the states become main guests. Some people get prepared in the early morning and wait for the speech of the Indian Prime Minister at the TV. On the 15th of August people get inspired by the history of India’s independence and do some social activities like that and watch movies based on patriotic themes.

INDEPENDENCE DAY SPEECH FOR TEACHERS 2

Respected Principal, Vice Principal, Dear Colleagues, and My Lovely Students – Good Morning to one and all!

I, Natasha Sharma – class teacher of IX Standard, warmly welcome everyone to our today’s celebration on the eve of Independence Day. This day is of so much importance to the Indians as it is on this day, i.e. 15th August we won back our freedom from the British rule. After independence, the natives of India could enjoy all the fundamental rights. This was actually the dawn of a new era for all the Indians who after remaining in the bondage of slavery could once again breathe freely in their surroundings and live their lives on their own terms.

History has it that how our forefathers and ancestors sacrificed everything and had to bear the torture inflicted by the Britishers. No matter how much we say that we can understand the plight of people living in those times, but we cannot empathize with them. It took a lot from them when India was finally granted the freedom in the year 1947 before which war was continuously waged and bloodbath became a common occurrence.

It was a struggle of several decades from 1857 onwards which continued until 1947. Our great freedom fighter called Mangal Pandey was the first person in the British army to raise his voice against the Britishers and caused a massive outrage amongst the people to free India from the chains of slavery.

Post that many freedom fighters had fought bravely and dedicated their whole life towards winning back their country’s sovereignty. How can we forget the sacrifices made by Chandra Shekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, and Khudi Ram Bose, who had lost their lives at a young age only to free their country from the grip of the Britishers? Moreover, how can we forget the sacrifices of Gandhi Ji and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose? Undoubtedly, Gandhiji was a great Indian persona who had preached the world an important lesson of non-violence. Eventually, the long years of struggle finally yielded fruits when on the 15th of August 1947, Indians won back their precious freedom.

We are extremely lucky to have such forefathers who gifted us a land where we could live freely and independently and most importantly with a lot of peace without having to worry about our rights and freedom. Our country is fast developing in the field of science and technology, sports, education, and finance, including various other fields, which was not possible in the pre-independence era. India is also developing a stronghold as a nuclear power. We are moving forward by actively participating in such sports as Commonwealth games, Olympics as well as Asian games.

As citizens of India, we have now got complete right to select our government and enjoy the world’s largest democracy. Yes, we enjoy full autonomy; however, we should not consider ourselves free from the responsibilities that we owe towards our country. As the responsible citizens of our country, we should never hesitate to handle any condition of emergency on our land.

This is all from my side! Let’s say everyone – Jai Hind!!

INDEPENDENCE DAY SPEECH FOR TEACHERS 3

Hon’ble Chief Guest, Principal, Vice Principal, Dear Colleagues and Lovely Students – Warm Greetings to all of you and welcome to the Independence Day function of our school!

It is indeed a matter of great pleasure that we are entering into the 72nd independent year of our country and I am extremely elated to have got this opportunity of speaking my heart out on this great occasion. August 15 is the day we as Indians should feel proud of because it was after long years of struggle and sacrifice of our forefathers that our motherland could finally emerge as a sovereign nation. We should never forget the sacrifices of our forefathers, but value and cherish it because taking our freedom for granted and not having a feeling of patriotism in our hearts would mean that we are causing a great sense of disrespect to the beliefs and ideology of our forefathers.

Our country has always been the land of immense wealth and which was why it earned the title of “Golden Bird”. The Britishers not directly invaded India, but stealthily in the garb of trading with us and with their shrewd strategies began occupying different regions of our country. The policy that they resorted to in order to break the unity of our country was “Divide and Rule”. We all know that our country is a land of great diversity and the Britishers took unfair advantage of it. They divided us on various grounds, such as in the name of religion, region, caste, class and creed. And, we Indians could not make out their deceptive behavior and lost our every priced possession.

It was only when their atrocities became excruciating that some great Indian revolutionaries, such as Chandra Shekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, Subhas Chandra Bose, Lala Lajpat Rai, Rani Laxmi Bai and many other came to the fore in order to confront the situation boldly and drive away the Britishers from our land. One important thing that they did was to expose the shrewd strategies of the Britishers and what they were actually up to, i.e. to establish their rule on our land. After a lot of struggle they could galvanize the force and come up with troops to put up a fight against them in order to achieve independence. They just lived that glorious dream when our country would be absolutely free and so continued to wage war against them in order to realize that dream. They even happily sacrificed their lives for their motherland.

Throughout the entire period, our country witnessed several hardships. However, after winning back its freedom, there was no looking back. Our country began making a progress in different fields of science, technology, agriculture, infrastructure as well as industrialization. At the same time, there were several terrorist attacks that severely shunted the economy of our country, including political scams which hurt the integrity of our country. But the spirit of our country is still the same and continues to thrive.

So let’s take a pledge to make our country proud with our fine deeds and never lay waste the sacrifice of our forefathers.

Thank you and let’s hear it from everyone Mera Bharat Mahan!

The great non-violence movement of the Mahatma Gandhi, Bapu, helps a lot to our freedom fighters to get freedom from the British rule after 200 long years of struggle. The hard struggle for Independence of India has worked as a huge moving force for every Indian which binds them together at one place whether they belong to different castes, classes, cultures to ritual beliefs to fight them from British rule for their rights. Even women (Aruna Asaf Ali, Vijay Laxmi Pandit, Sarojini Naidu, Kasturba Gandhi, Kamala Nehru, Annie Besant, etc) came out from their houses and played their great role in getting freedom.
