Source of inspiration: The independence movement in India was carried on by Indian Freedom Fighters. These freedom fighters had to undergo a hard and severe struggle. This day reminds us of the struggle of the freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives for their country. It inspires us to love our country. We are the future of our country. And, we must be ready to sacrifice everything for our country. (August 15 short speech)
Celebrate our Freedom: On this day, we celebrate our freedom. We are a free country. Our democratic rights as citizens of India are secured. We also enjoy the fundamental rights guaranteed by our constitution. We are a self-determined democratic country. We have voting rights. We have the right to choose our government. The feeling of freedom and self-confidence fills our heart with unparalleled happiness. However, we must remember that the fragrance of the outdoors we are experiencing is not really free. It is the result of unremitting efforts and countless sacrifices of our compatriots.
Grand Ceremony at Red Fort: A magnificent Independence Day ceremony held every year, at Red Ford in New Delhi, makes every Indian proud of their country.
