O! Great son Of India.......

It gives me immense pleasure to extend to you a very hearty congratulations on this auspicious day of Independence. As you are already aware, from time immemorial India has held a pride of place among nations spread across the seven continents of the world, as our beloved motherland has always been replete with human values, nobility, wisdom and devotion. This nation of ours has been the birthplace and cradle of humanity itself. Legends of sacrifices and dedication with strong under currents of self-respect and dignity are a plenty about this great nation. But at some unfortunate periods of History, this nation has had to suffer the cubersome burden and shackles of foreign dominion.But the true sons of the country could not, in the least, tolerate the foreign invaders on their motherland. They have justifiably rebelled and revolted against such oppressors and tyrannical forces as and when the country demanded of them. Numerous distinguished and humble freedom fighters have laid down their precious lives as price for our liberty which could not have materialized with struggle and dedication alone. They have watered and nourished, so to say, the ever-growing freedom struggle with their own warm arterial blood. They have sacrificed their own lives for the protection of our motherland's dignity, and in the process became the very bed rock on which lies the foundation of our Independence. Freedom-loving and right-thinking people from all walks of life joined the army of revolutionaries as the torch of freedom struggle travelled across the length and breadth of the country and dispelled the darkness of thraldom from every nook and corner of the land.

On this solemn day, we, as the entire nation, express our gratitude and indebtedness to the selfless sacrifices of our freedom fighters. The spirit of their indomitable courage and dedication with unparalled sacrifices touches the inner recesses of our hearts on the 15th of August every year. Today, with the profoundest humility, we bow our heads down in reverence, and in fond rememberance of those brave hearts of this land who had made supreme sacrifice of their lives to make their dreams for a free nation areality for us to enjoy and cherish.

Let us, on this day, resolve and endeavour to transform those dreams into a reality, for ourselves and for the future generations to come............
