    Patriotism is important because we live in a free country. When we say the Pledge of Allegiance and sing the National Anthem, we honor our soldiers for fighting for our freedom.

    A very Good Morning respected principal, teachers n my dear friends. Today, we have gathered here to celebrate the 67th independence day of our country. It gives me immense pleasure as a citizen of India to share my views with u .67 years ago, on this day we engraved history n made a mark of our independence . Our nation breathed a sigh of relief but this independence was not an escapade to walk away with but a journey of tears, blood and sweat. It was a time where the whole nation came forward to sacrifice every strand of strength it had to pay for its freedom. We've had the greatest leaders of all times who led us on the path of freedom. we must never let their hardwork fade away. The fresh air of independence that we breath today is nothing but the fruit of their sacrifice and hard work.India, today is the largest democracy in the world. It comprises of 29 states and 7 union territories being the 7th largest country in the world area wise. We are a vast multi linguistic country with 780 languages and 86 scripts. We as Indians hold a great legacy to carry on. We have a freedom to defend , and a tale of selfless heroism of our freedom fighters to tell. Our nation is blessed with abundance of natural beauty as we are a tropical country. Its our ancestral property that we have to protect and the values of which have been cultivated through ages and for which we are known today. Our rich heritage is something that has taken centuries to create the mark of the kings n great rulers practicing the respected cultures and rituals here in India. India has been a liberal country,since a long time as all the religions allowed to be practised in India and we have had great part in justifying the word freedom in true sense. We have been one of the most peaceful civilization as India has never captured any kingdom or country whatsoever for the last 10000years like our peace,we belong to one of the most intelligent race,as games like chess ,snake and ladder,various other…

    After more than two hundred years of British rule, India finally won back its freedom on 15th August, 1947. All the patriotic hearts rejoiced at seeing India becoming a sovereign nation and the triumph of hundreds and thousands of martyred souls. It was a birth of a new nation and a new beginning. The only fact that marred the happiness of the fruits by the blood of martyrs was the fact that the country was divided into India and Pakistan and the violent communal riots took away a number of lives. It was on the eve of 15th of August, 1947 that India tricolor flag was unfurled by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, on the ramparts the Red Fort, Delhi.…

    As you know all of us have gathered here to celebrate 67th independence day of our nation. This day, after the hosting national flag, we usually make mistake by remembering the heroic deeds of only few freedom fighters. But freedom fighting was collective effort. Without cooperation, sacrifice and involvement of all Indians it was impossible to get the freedom. So people of India were the real national heroes behind the success. We should express our sincere gratitude to all those who participated in the freedom struggle. This can only be done by defending our freedom like our ancestral property which cannot be valued. How to defend? Single person cannot defend it; again group effort is essential it is nothing but unity. How to form this unity? We should always remember that only patriotism can form unity irrespective of religion, language, caste, customs and traditions. So having patriotism only can save the freedom of our nation. To keep faith in secularism No compromise must be with patriotism, Punish the forces that support terrorism Else one bad day we will loose our freedom. I would like to express my views about the dark side of Present India. How should I say ‘My INDIA is great’? In this republic from schools to parliament, Elections are held at every moment, Children’s are taught fighting for the seat, How should I say ‘My India is great’? Even after golden jubilee of unconstraint, Many citizens are unable to fill their gut, Rich become richer and rests are indigent, How should I say ‘My India is great’? People are emotionally divided by communalist, Border in the north and south has water dispute, Leaders are selfish and have no solving interest, How should I say ‘My India is great’? Capable civilians are facing unemployment, Socially unfits have led the political movements, Voters are under tense of serious terror threat, How should I say ‘My India is great’? All are seeking benefits without effort, Bribery has become the style of management,…
