we have assembled here to celebrate our 67th 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. gandhi ji taught us ahimsa and non-violence. subash chandra bose inducted courage in us. swami vivekanand gave us spiritual power. yes, with these contributions; india will be the super power 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 word of one billionsouls.

jai hind!

honorable judges, fellow students:

good afternoon!

recently, there is a heated debate in our society. the college students are the beneficiaries of a rare privilege, who receive exceptional education at extraordinary places. but will we be able to face the challenge and support ourselves against all odds? will we be able to better the lives of others? will we be able to accept the responsibility of building the future of our country? the cynics say the college students are the pampered lost generation, which would cringe at the slightest discomfort. but the cynics are wrong. the college students i see are eagerly learning about how to live independently. we help each other clean the dormitory, go shopping and bargain together, and take part time jobs to supplement our pocket money.

the cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation. but again, the cynics are wrong. we care deeply for each other, we cherish freedom, we treasure justice, and we seek truth. last week, thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.
