Short Independence Day Speech (500 Words)

Very Good morning to everyone present here.

On 15th August 1947, India got its Independence Past back in 1947, was on this day that India gained its independence from the United Kingdom and freed itself from the shackles of colonialism. With such toil and tyranny, India fought for its independence for about a decade. Let us all hold our hands together and bow in front of all those heroes who had bravely fought to gift a generation full of freedom.

Today, our mind is without fear and our heads are held high up in the sky. Not only did we free ourselves from colonialism, but we also rejuvenated our Nation and brought India back with a revolution. Our leaders, and their invaluable struggle to free India from the shackles of injustice, had been an inspiration to all of us as an epitome of courage and bravery. The values and the practices that India holds in its ancient culture had been an example set for all of us.

Just flashback and think of those times, when mothers sacrificed their sons, where the country had blood marks engraved on its battlegrounds, where people sacrificed their families, where daughters lost their fathers, where wives were ruthlessly widowed, and when people couldn’t hold their heads high, where people were forced to become slaves of the British, where people of India were treated as untouchables.

India had been so vibrant and so united in itself in spite of the fact that it has such a huge population and democracy, due to which India had spaced up itself in such a position that the whole universe looks back at India as a place where unity exists along with such diversity. India is known as a melting pot of cultures and traditions and the people of India hold a shared equanimity themselves which preserves humanity.

India is an independent nation now. As the preamble of the Indian constitution states itself as a sovereign, secular, and democratic country, it is our responsibility that we uphold the pillars of virtues in India as a youth. On Independence Day, a huge ceremony is held at Rajpath, where the program is commenced with our honourable Prime minister’s hoisting of the Indian Tricolour. It is then followed by a national anthem and tribute is paid to the country and its flag by firing 21 guns. The national anthem is played and flowers are downpoured from the helicopter. A March past show is held and the militants from all the forces put up the parade. In schools, programs are held by the students and flag hoisting is also done.

For years, our courageous heroes fought valiantly to ensure that future generations might live in freedom and dignity. Let’s salute the sacrifices made by freedom fighters and soldiers who made us realize the dream of an independent and unified India. We pay tribute to the heroic personalities.

Justice, liberty, Unity, Equity, and Fraternity…May we weave a better future and embellish it with high hopes, growth, and positivity.

Wishing you all a very happy Independence Day once again…

Very Good morning to everyone present here.

With colours of saffron and green flying high in the sky and with patriotic fervour and pride, each Indian layers their heart with immense honour and harmony for their motherland on this auspicious day. As a national holiday, this day holds a special space to reminisce all the sacrifices done by our brave martyrs Past back in 1947, it was on this day that India gained its independence from the United Kingdom and freed itself from the shackles of colonialism. After, the concatenation of events, India freed itself from the shackles of colonial rule. We all have gathered here on this auspicious day, to celebrate the 75th Independence Day of our country.

In schools, programs are held by the students and flag hoisting is also done. On this day, a huge ceremony is held at Rajpath, where the program is commenced with our honourable Prime minister’s hoisting of the Indian Tricolour. It is then followed by a national anthem and tribute is paid to the country and its flag by firing 21 guns. The national anthem is played and flowers are downpoured from the helicopter. A March past show is held and the militants from all the forces put up the parade.

India is known as a melting pot of cultures and traditions and the people of India hold a shared equanimity themselves which preserves humanity. Even during the pandemic, the people of India held their hands together to take preventive measures and protect the country from such a danger. Today as we turn around and flashback our journey of 75 years since our independence, our hearts are filled with pride and honour because we had been united so strongly that we have covered such a long distance of togetherness.

As we respire freely, each breath of us holds a high significance in our hearts as we know that such a generation is a creation of all the freedom fighters. As the preamble of the Indian constitution states itself as a sovereign, secular and democratic country, it is within our responsibility that we uphold the pillars of virtues in our country as the youth.

Our father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi, who was the supreme person to carry out the nationalist movement, paved us walk the path of truth and non-violence. The Khadi man of India who once brought in the satyagraha with the seraphic ideologies of Swaraj of the masses has led to stay to be the International Day of Nonviolence of an era. Not only did we free ourselves from colonialism, but we also rejuvenated our Nation and brought India back with a revolution.

As we unfurl the National flag, the tricolours with vibrant hues spread their wings high above the sky. The colours are saffron, white and green. The vibrant saffron symbolizes courage and bravery. The clean white signifies harmony and peacefulness. The green colour denotes prosperity and faith. Between these colours, an Ashok chakra is engraved that is embellished with 24 spikes. Symbolizing peace, love, chivalry, and harmony, the Indian tricolour is the symbol of bravery and courage.
Independence Day unfolds a plenitude of affections, in which we reminisce about those days of slavery and how we overcame the tyranny by holding hands together. For years, our courageous heroes fought valiantly to ensure that future generations might live in freedom and dignity. Let’s salute the sacrifices made by freedom fighters and soldiers who made us realize the dream of an independent and unified India.

Gifting a country with a resplendent morning and paving the path for its independence and who became the epitome of simplicity, humility, and wisdom, we pay tribute to the heroic personalities. May therefore footprints keep on guiding us in creating an incredible and prosperous India ahead and each day blooming in it makes a better place to live in.


Independence Day Speech In English by Student (1500 word long speech)

Very Good morning to everyone present here.

With high spirits and exuberance, we all have gathered here on this auspicious day, to celebrate the 77th Independence Day of our country. Past back in 1947, was on Independence Day that India gained its independence from the United Kingdom and freed itself from the shackles of colonialism. With the Independence of India, the Indian Independence Act 1947 came into force, and India had to face its partition into the dominion of India, now known as the Republic of India, and the dominion of Pakistan, which is now known as the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Even the legislative sovereignty was shifted into the Indian constituent assembly.

With such toil and tyranny, India fought for its independence for about a decade. Let us all commemorate and pay tribute to all those people who went through such difficult times. Today, our mind is without fear and our heads are held high up in the sky. As we respire freely, each breath of us holds a high significance in our hearts as we know that such a generation is a creation of all the freedom fighters.

Just flashback and think of those times, when mothers sacrificed their sons, where the country had blood marks engraved on its battlegrounds, where people sacrificed their families, where daughters lost their fathers, where wives were ruthlessly widowed, and when people couldn’t hold their heads high, where people were forced to become slaves of the British, where people of India were treated as untouchables. Let us all hold our hands together and bow in front of all those heroes who had bravely fought to gift a generation full of freedom.

With all the injustices and violence, that India faced during the British rule, India never thought to give up.

The difference between India and all other countries, that makes India a very unique place to live in, is fighting violence with the help of nonviolence. Our father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi, who was the supreme person to carry out the nationalist movement, paved us to walk on the path of truth and non-violence.

The Khadi man of India who once brought in the satyagraha with the seraphic ideologies of Swaraj of the masses has led to stay to be the International Day of Nonviolence of an era. Not only did we free ourselves from colonialism, but we also rejuvenated our Nation and brought India back with a revolution. Our leaders, and their invaluable struggle to free India from the shackles of injustice, had been an inspiration to all of us as an epitome of courage and bravery.

The values and the practices that India holds in its ancient culture had been an example set for all of us.

Today as we turn around and flashback our journey of 75 years since our independence, our hearts are filled with pride and honour because we had been united so strongly that we have covered such a long distance of togetherness. India had been so vibrant and so united in itself in spite of the fact that it has such a huge population and democracy, due to which India had spaced up itself in such a position that the whole universe looks back at India as a place where unity exists along with such diversity.

India is known as a melting pot of cultures and traditions and the people of India hold a shared equanimity themselves which preserves humanity. Even during the pandemic, the people of India had to hold their hands together to take preventive measures and protect the country from such a danger. Together, we have been vaccinated and today, India stands at a much safer place as it overcame these trying times with considerable measures.

India is an independent nation now. As the preamble of the Indian constitution states itself as a sovereign, secular and democratic country, it is within our responsibility that we uphold the pillars of virtues in our country as the youth. The significant epic of how India fought for itself and managed to win its respect back from the shackles of colonial rule and finally declared itself to be a democratic space has been a saga for all its citizens. The freedom fighters who sacrificed their peaceful lives to provide us with a life full of harmony, we pay tribute to those brave martyrs.

Independence Day is a fiesta of freedom. On this day, a huge ceremony is held at Rajpath, where the program is commenced with our honourable Prime minister’s hoisting of the Indian Tricolour. It is then followed by a national anthem and tribute is paid to the country and its flag by firing 21 guns. The national anthem is played and flowers are downpoured from the helicopter. A March past show is held and the militants from all the forces put up the parade. In schools, programs are held by the students and flag hoisting is also done.

This day unfolds plenitude of affections, in which we reminisce those days of slavery and how we overcame the tyranny by holding hands together. It illustrates that not all wars are fought with violence and blood, some could also be fought with patience and non-violence. It makes us remember all the virtues of the values that India had planted in itself during ancient times. Therefore as responsible citizens of our country, we have to uphold the pillars of values to carry out our duties with sincerity and look forward to the growth and development of our nation.

For years, our courageous heroes fought valiantly to ensure that future generations might live in freedom and dignity. Let’s salute the sacrifices made by freedom fighters and soldiers who made us realize the dream of an independent and unified India. Gifting a country with a resplendent morning and paving the path for its independence and who became the epitome of simplicity, humility, and wisdom, we pay tribute to the heroic personalities. May therefore footprints keep on guiding us in creating an incredible and prosperous India ahead and each day blooming in it makes a better place to live in.

Justice, liberty, Unity, Equity, and Fraternity…May we weave a better future and embellish it with high hopes, growth, and positivity.
