@b k The tragedy is that we have imbeciles like you who are capable of speaking and understanding English yet lack the mental fortitude required appreciate the import of the words being uttered.
Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity. At the dawn of history India started on her unending quest, and trackless centuries are filled with her striving and the grandeur of her success and her failures. Through good and ill fortune alike she has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength. We end today a period of ill fortune and India discovers herself again. The achievement we celebrate today is but a step, an opening of opportunity, to the greater triumphs and achievements that await us. Are we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future? Freedom and power bring responsibility. The responsibility rests upon this Assembly, a sovereign body representing the sovereign people of India. Before the birth of freedom we have endured all the pains of labour and our hearts are heavy with the memory of this sorrow. Some of those pains continue even now. Nevertheless, the past is over and it is the future that beckons to us now. That future is not one of ease or resting but of incessant striving so that we may fulfil the pledges we have so often taken and the one we shall take today. The service of India means the service of the millions who suffer. It means the ending of poverty, ignorance, disease and inequality of opportunity. The ambition of the greatest man of our generation has been to wipe every tear from every eye. That may be beyond us, but as long as there are tears and suffering, so long our work will not be over. And so we have to labour and to work, and work hard, to give reality to our dreams. Those dreams are for India, but they are also for the world, for all the nations and peoples are too closely knit together today for any one of them to imagine that it can live apart Peace has been said to be indivisible; so is freedom, so is prosperity now, and so also is disaster in this One World that can no longer be split into isolated fragments. To the people of India, whose representatives we are, we make an appeal to join us with faith and confidence in this great adventure. This is no time for petty and destructive criticism, no time for ill-will or blaming others. We have to build the noble mansion of free India where all her children may dwell. The appointed day has come-the day appointed by destiny-and India stands forth again, after long slumber and struggle, awake, vital, free and independent. The past clings on to us still in some measure and we have to do much before we redeem the pledges we have so often taken. Yet the turning-point is past, and history begins anew for us, the history which we shall live and act and others will write about. It is a fateful moment for us in India, for all Asia and for the world. A new star rises, the star of freedom in the East, a new hope comes into being, a vision long cherished materializes. May the star never set and that hope never be betrayed! We rejoice in that freedom, even though clouds surround us, and many of our people are sorrow-stricken and difficult problems encompass us. But freedom brings responsibilities and burdens and we have to face them in the spirit of a free and disciplined people. On this day our first thoughts go to the architect of this freedom, the Father of our Nation, who, embodying the old spirit of India, held aloft the torch of freedom and lighted up the darkness that surrounded us. We have often been unworthy followers of his and have strayed from his message, but not only we but succeeding generations will remember this message and bear the imprint in their hearts of this great son of India, magnificent in his faith and strength and courage and humility. We shall never allow that torch of freedom to be blown out, however high the wind or stormy the tempest. Our next thoughts must be of the unknown volunteers and soldiers of freedom who, without praise or reward, have served India even unto death. We think also of our brothers and sisters who have been cut off from us by political boundaries and who unhappily cannot share at present in the freedom that has come. They are of us and will remain of us whatever may happen, and we shall be sharers in their good [or] ill fortune alike. The future beckons to us. Whither do we go and what shall be our endeavour? To bring freedom and opportunity to the common man, to the peasants and workers of India; to fight and end poverty and ignorance and disease; to build up a prosperous, democratic and progressive nation, and to create social, economic and political institutions which will ensure justice and fullness of life to every man and woman. We have hard work ahead. There is no resting for any one of us till we redeem our pledge in full, till we make all the people of India what destiny intended them to be. We are citizens of a great country on the verge of bold advance, and we have to live up to that high standard. All of us, to whatever religion we may belong, are equally the children of India with equal rights, privileges and obligations. We cannot encourage communalism or narrow-mindedness, for no nation can be great whose people are narrow in thought or in action. To the nations and peoples of the world we send greetings and pledge ourselves to cooperate with them in furthering peace, freedom and democracy. And to India, our much-loved motherland, the ancient, the eternal and the ever-new, we pay our reverent homage and we bind ourselves afresh to her service. JAI HIND.
I think it can only be said Nehruji spoke English with the finest of eloquence and sounds just like my great grandfather who was in the Colonial Government of British Kenya and weirdly he supported India’s independence but questioned whether it was the right time to give Kenya her’s.

I love how he says, “...to the still larger cause of humanity.” It shows how even though we had gained independence and had a fundamental duty towards serving our nation, it is still more important to serve towards the cause of humanity. That right there, is true patriotism.
It gave me chills..All I could feel is that how and in what terms pt.ji envisioned our country ..a newly born country which is not only responsible of its own future but should be strong enough to take up the cause of humanity and serve it well.This is a India we all want..Jai Hind...
@@icequeenhr7523nothing like that. We've the largest population, If we work even for only our people we still will be serving humanity!

And who said we've forgotten that? Do you know what Indian Pharmaceutical industry has done for Africa? Just know about it... We're giving loans to countries like Sri Lanka in their bad times. Is it not serving Humanity?
Tears in my eyes. Ideals that gave her strength. Expected better from our country. Best speech of the 20th century. Wake up India. The service of India, means the service of millions who still suffer.
A lot of people wonder why he never spoke in Hindi. There are a lot of reasons for that. 1. This speech wasn't for the people of the country. It was a speech to the rest of the world. A declaration of independence and soverignty. A message that a new sun had shone in South Asia. 2. At that time, the union was not consolidated. India looked very different. The southern states were very apprehensive about joining the union fearing Hindi imposition. Nehru wanted those states to know, even if they couldn't understand it, that he spoke for them too.
One of the greatest speech by one of the greatest Indian to ever taken birth in the world. The most beloved son of Bharat Mata ❤🇮🇳🙏 Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru ❤ Nehru lives in the soul of Bharat Mata.
Uhh not to be a very complaining person, but the emoji you put over there literally means "i don't care" and your comment is pretty much a comedy with patriotic text and "i don't give a damn" emoji.
India was lucky to have a Prime Minister like him. Greatest people of our democracy like Gandhi, Nehru,Patel and Bose are being abused today, its a shame.
But they were and will remain forever the greatest.... Netaji Bose, Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel, Baba Saheb Ambedkar and Pandit Nehru..... they were legendary...hardly few individuals in entire human history were comparable to them
Lucky that we had such a leader for guiding this country in the initial days, the most crucial days just after getting freedom. After 75 yrs of this speech.... The lines will guide and encourage everyone for years to come... Jai Hind Chaha Nehru
Listening to it today at the stroke of midnight after 75th anniversary, Dear nehruji, we achieved almost you tought, we are progressive, on the path that you find for us, as a citizens we will work hard for our dreams, we joined with confidence for our dreams. salute to Our great noble ideal personality, who gives us freedom💐💐💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹🥀🥀🥀🌻🌺💐🌷🌷🌷💮🌸💐💐💐

@@junkerwarg5965 I don't care weather some material came out of his thoughts or not. I read his book the Discovery of India. That itself was the best way of learn about him in person. What he saw India as, what he admired of India and what he wanted our India to be. No wonder our consititution, parliment system and everything talked about equality, justice and humanity. These things are way above anything for me. India survived 75 years with so much DIVERSITY. itself shows what really we acheived as a nation.

There are two interviews also available on youtube of Jawaharlal Nehru and Arnold Michaelis. One from 1958 and another from 1964. Both about half an hour and very interesting conversations. Must watch.

Still getting goosebumps, just like any other person might have felt that time. मेरा भारत महान..🇮🇳❣️

"All of us, to whatever religion we may belong, are equally the children of India with equal rights, privileges and obligations. We cannot encourage communalism or narrow-mindedness, for no nation can be great whose people are narrow in thought or in action." Please remember this, citizens of India. Don't destroy the greatest democracy in the history of humankind.
I love your comment but i object to the word 'greatest'. There is no greatest democracy, neither India nor USA. We all are working to become great humanity.
I just get so emotional. I have tears in my eyes every time. I believe Nehru would despair if he saw Indian politics today. There's a lot to be proud of, but some things could be better.
The 1950s and 1960s were the best time of Indian nation post Independence. So much enthusiasm, patriotism and sense of duty to build the nation in the hearts of every citizen! 🇮🇳✨
Vir Das kind of ruined it for me when he pointed out that midnight in India was 7 PM in London, and pretty much every western nation would have been very much awake at the time.
This speech link is mentioned in 12 th history 1 st volume book .... A great honour to school book makers... and also teachers should show the video to all growing juvenile stars (students) of our country
India is fortunate to have Nehru as his first and the longest PM, a social democrat and a secular liberal statesman who set the basis for his motherland to become the largest democracy and one of the largest economies of the world. No wonder his literary creation “ Glimpse of the world “ (a collection of his letters to his daughter Indra from the Jail) though shortlisted but denied the coveted Noble prize in literature on account of his colonial background. However he was bestowed with the next in line “Lenin Award”.
Entered in 76th year of independence...with a vision to contribute rest of my life to make this country better.... I was born in India, I've studied in India, I will work for India in India ❤️
The historical speech makes one cry and get goosebumps. It is so full of love and aspiration for one's motherland. Let's forget for a while what the country has become after 75 years of its rebirth. The strength of the words uttered by respected PM Nehru will remain forever and will continue to encourage people of all countries who embrace freedom and believe in it at any cost.
Thank you Nehruji and all our founding fathers for your great vision. India today and for many years will reap the benefits of what you sowed. Thanks a billion
I read this wonderful and exceptionally motivational speech 55 years ago as a part of my school curriculum. Now listening and viewing for the first time. Thanks.
The fact which gives me goosebumps is that this speech was an extempore Nehru ji was disheartened by the call he received from Lahore about killing of hindus and sikh which had started on that day. He did not prepared any speech just spoke his heart out. Massive Respect. 🙏🏻
Every student of India should watch this...!!...because God has given us the power to make the world better to live... But unfortunately, those politicians (not all, bt max) of today can never understand the weightage of this speech...😥
Now it's the stroke of midnight 76 years later❤ It'll soon be someone commenting 100 years later ❤ India shall never face the same suppression ever again❤

This speech shows that how hard freedom was for us and challenges india faced after its independence 🇮🇳 glad that i m able to listen these magical, true patriotic , historical words.... It really gives goosebumps 🇮🇳
"The Service Of India means the Service of the millions who suffer" ,"It Means the ending of poverty! and ignorance! and disease and Inequality of opportunity!"
Great speech and those words should be our motivation towards a greater India!.....but i must say that in that fabled central hall of the Parliament, one man is missing...whose contribution to the freedom of India is unparalleled and that great man is NETAJI SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE 🙏....he will always be in our hearts and he is an inspiration to millions of indians🇮🇳🙏💓

India lost the train to post war Industrialization and Globalization boom, and able to come together only after we unshackled our politics and economics from his stupid ideals.
@@junkerwarg5965 I don't care weather some material came out of his thoughts or not. I read his book the Discovery of India. That itself was the best way of learn about him in person. What he saw India as, what he admired of India and what he wanted our India to be. No wonder our consititution, parliment system and everything talked about equality, justice and humanity.
These things are way above anything for me. India survived 75 years with so much DIVERSITY. itself shows what really we acheived as a nation.
Then you're bhakt of a Brahmin
@@Gustav_fringe What is the need to bring caste into a discussion? Are you medieval? The modern and intelligent brain only puts forth a united human ideology, not one that promotes caste.
Loads of thanks to technology revolution that gave us opportunity to listen to the greatest leader Jawahar lal Nehruji...
Absolutely
Say what you want, but without him the groundwork that made us a democracy wouldn't exist. The right wingers condemn him but forget that it was this very system that allowed them to come into power
@@singhanmolpreet5935 I agree he fucked up things but Nehru ki galti sab kuch me yeh log dhunte hai
There are two interviews also available on youtube of Jawaharlal Nehru and Arnold Michaelis. One from 1958 and another from 1964. Both about half an hour and very interesting conversations. Must watch.
The greatest speech of the 20th century. Even after 75 years, it still gives goosebumps. Earlier we had educated leaders, today we have criminals.
I WAS JUST 68 DAYS OLD, IN THE LAP OF MY BIOLOGICAL MATA AND IN THE LAP OF "MY BHARAT MATA" WHEN HONOURABLE Pt. NEHRU SPOKE THUS ON 15th. AUGUST, 1947.
HOW LUCKY I AM!!!
आज इसे मेरे भारत के 75वे स्वतन्त्रता दिवस की मध्यरात्रि में सुन रहा हूँ। बिल्कुल वही रोमांच और विस्मय महसूस हो रहा है, जो शायद उस समय मौजूद हर व्यक्ति को हो रहा होगा।
Today, listening it in the midnight of 75th independence day of my Bharat. Still getting goosebumps, just like any other person might have felt that time.
मेरा भारत महान..🇮🇳❣️
Every Independence Day I find myself coming back to this🇮🇳
0:33 “ at the stroke of the midnight hour when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom” 🇮🇳💪🏻 #jaihind
Nehru ji even though I was not there in your period but as today's circumstances we need a kind of leadership like you who understands the value of an education, science and technology, the pain of poor etc.
Jai hind jai Bharat
I saw his era. Today we are in a mess due to decline in the moral values.
Lol he gave away Aksai Chin and you are telling about leadership
@@samarthh6528 all schools , hospitals , aiims , colleges , universities , roads , industrialization , mordernization, westernization happened under him galtiiyan hoti hai sabse iska matlab yeh nahi hai ki sab ache kaam bhul jao aur infact unka foriengn policy ko criticize kiya jata hai but puri duniya ne cold war ke time usko praise kiya tha kyuki Nehru ne india ko cold war se dur rakha tha
@@samarthh6528 you are a low life bro. We fought with the Chinese. Lost or won is another thing. We all know what Modi did months back. He has made our army look coward. Plus, when are you bringing back PoK and Akshai Chin since that's all you keep blabbering all day.
@raider 342 Yes he had said that, ok do you know that who will be your enemy after 10 years? I am telling among your friends that do you know in future who will be your enemy? If you can give me your answer with an explanation then we can carry forward our discussion.
Thank you
Listening to this 75 years later. God!! Gives me goosebumps at seeing how far we've come as a nation.
This speech should be mandatory for each & every indian to listen
What a speech, will listen tomorrow morning again.
Listening at the the stroke of midnight hour. 75 years. Jai Hind🇮🇳
Same! Happy Independence Day!
"All of us, to whatever religion we may belong, are equally the children of India with equal rights, privileges and obligations. We cannot encourage communalism or narrow-mindedness, for no nation can be great whose people are narrow in thought or in action."
Please remember this, citizens of India. Don't destroy the greatest democracy in the history of humankind.
I love your comment but i object to the word 'greatest'. There is no greatest democracy, neither India nor USA. We all are working to become great humanity.
Saachi gupta I suppose OP was talking about how it’s the most concise yet largest democracy :) but yeah also true
These chaddi topi walass will destroy our beautiful country one day....
No matter how much fake news is spread about Nehru he still remains one of the greatest PM of India like Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Lal Bahadur Shastri
Yes he was a great pm he made some mistakes but it's ok India at that time was really backward and being first pm he had to do lots of work
@Gaurav Gadhale sarcasm?😅
@Gaurav Gadhale .yes the Sangh logic all wrong decisions by nehru in those days and all right decisions by Patel in those days 😁
Ain't nothing is fake news. Not denying that Nehru did good work but there were various wrong doings.
@Gaurav Gadhale this statement is an oxymoron...
This speech always gives me goosebumps and Confidence.
Listening it today at the stroke of midnight 78 years of freedom ! Long live India !!
listening to this speech again just few hours before independence day.
ONLY 10 minutes for 75th independence day.....
I can't stop crying🇮🇳❤️😭
I'm so proud to be born in Humara Pyara Bharat❤️💙
🇮🇳🇮🇳🥺
🇮🇳❤️
Jai Hind!
The most inspiring speech till date!!! Very Proud of the fact that we had such an amazing personality - Pandit Nehru as our Prime minister!!!
"At the stroke of midnight hour" these words give goosebumps to me.
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru:- Bharat mata's favorite prince
I just get so emotional. I have tears in my eyes every time. I believe Nehru would despair if he saw Indian politics today. There's a lot to be proud of, but some things could be better.
Till now, we have seen only maturity of politics on larger scales. Examine closely.
Nehru was great, illerate people abuse him...
Pandit ji ko shat shat Naman!🙏
Lol
@Gaurav Gadhale chup bhakt

I am so fortunate that i understood this man's greatness in this lifetime only.
Well said!

Listening this today at the stroke of midnight after 75 years🙇♂️
2 days after independence day. Love u india. Though I am not in India I want to come back!
disha g India welcome you
Oh tnx
If that is what your heart wants,do come back.
The 1950s and 1960s were the best time of Indian nation post Independence. So much enthusiasm, patriotism and sense of duty to build the nation in the hearts of every citizen! 🇮🇳✨
We lost War against China due to him and Nation's enthusiasm and this c^nt's political career were finished after that.
At the stroke of the midnight hour when the world sleeps india will awake to life and freedom
Favourite line really really very inspirational 👏👏👍👍
Vir Das kind of ruined it for me when he pointed out that midnight in India was 7 PM in London, and pretty much every western nation would have been very much awake at the time.
The world sleeps India will wake up
Happy 76 Independence day of India 🇮🇳 🎉
Happy independence day❤❤
We r leasning him at the stroke of midnight aajadi bohut sundar chij hai 🇮🇳
Long live India 🇮🇳.

At the stroke of midnight hour when the world sleeps India will awake to life & freedom.
😊😊👍🏻👍🏻
India is fortunate to have Nehru as his first and the longest PM, a social democrat and a secular liberal statesman who set the basis for his motherland to become the largest democracy and one of the largest economies of the world.
No wonder his literary creation “ Glimpse of the world “ (a collection of his letters to his daughter Indra from the Jail) though shortlisted but denied the coveted Noble prize in literature on account of his colonial background. However he was bestowed with the next in line “Lenin Award”.
Not at all, India would have been more fortunate if Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was the first and longest pm
@@Smart_Soham Patel died in 1950, a year before the 1951 elections.
I’m here listening to it on 75th अमृत महोत्सव
What a wonderful speech Nehru Ji. So ahead of his time.. no leaders can speak such powerful words anymore today
Entered in 76th year of independence...with a vision to contribute rest of my life to make this country better.... I was born in India, I've studied in India, I will work for India in India ❤️
The historical speech makes one cry and get goosebumps. It is so full of love and aspiration for one's motherland. Let's forget for a while what the country has become after 75 years of its rebirth. The strength of the words uttered by respected PM Nehru will remain forever and will continue to encourage people of all countries who embrace freedom and believe in it at any cost.
Pride moments,,, great speech,, sensible words. Lots of love Chachajiii,,,
Thank you Nehruji and all our founding fathers for your great vision. India today and for many years will reap the benefits of what you sowed. Thanks a billion
Listening it today at stroke of midnight on 75th year of independence
I read this wonderful and exceptionally motivational speech 55 years ago as a part of my school curriculum. Now listening and viewing for the first time. Thanks.
The fact which gives me goosebumps is that this speech was an extempore Nehru ji was disheartened by the call he received from Lahore about killing of hindus and sikh which had started on that day. He did not prepared any speech just spoke his heart out. Massive Respect. 🙏🏻
Woww gave me goosebumps
The way he his giving speech like a song is just so heartwarming just love the way he spoke my heart seems to skip a beat
Every politician of now should watch this....
They will first need to read oxford dictionary
Every student of India should watch this...!!...because God has given us the power to make the world better to live...
But unfortunately, those politicians (not all, bt max) of today can never understand the weightage of this speech...😥
Such superb English and selection of words, Nehru's impeccable English is one of its kind...
Best speech for all Indians. Every one should listen to it on Every independence day.
Listening on 15th August 2023. It has now become part of my life, i come here every year on Independence day 🇮🇳
So emotional and patriotic this speech is for the Indians .I really cried after this speech
Now it's the stroke of midnight 76 years later❤
It'll soon be someone commenting 100 years later ❤
India shall never face the same suppression ever again❤
I wonder if our current MPs have heard this. This speech must be printed on the first page of all text books.. what a masterpiece.
Listening to it today at the stroke of midnight after 75th anniversary,
Dear nehruji, we achieved almost you tought, we are progressive, on the path that you find for us, as a citizens we will work hard for our dreams, we joined with confidence for our dreams. salute to Our great noble ideal personality, who gives us freedom💐💐💐💐💐🌹🌹🌹🥀🥀🥀🌻🌺💐🌷🌷🌷💮🌸💐💐💐
Majority of today's MP s will not even undertstand what the PM has said in this speech
Listening to this again on 'the Teleprompter day'
Learning this speech for the declamation to be held in my school shortly after the summer break...
Wish me luck... I just hope I don't mess up
All the best!
All the best
Same!!
Hope you did well
The Greatest Prime Minister 🙌
Listening this on 30 Mins before our 78th Independence Day
Completing 77 years of FREEDOM ❤
Listening after 75 years of independence still goosebumps. #Nherulegacy🇮🇳
May God bless India 🇮🇳 - with deep respect from Ireland 🇮🇪
No matter sanghi and his brainwashed bhakts try to erase him from history but legacy will remain and celebrated nobody can take away that
Just ask yourself 3 questions.
1. Who was nehru?
2. What do you mean by "Bhakt"?
3. Which legacy?
Not to be mean but:
Nehru was the first elected pm of india
A blind follower who doesn't question or reason a situation
IIT IIM green ,white revolution,5year plan etc
This speech shows that how hard freedom was for us and challenges india faced after its independence 🇮🇳 glad that i m able to listen these magical, true patriotic , historical words.... It really gives goosebumps 🇮🇳
No matter how many times you watch this .. it always gives me goosebumps .. happy independence day people ... Jai Hind
Listening to it today at the stroke of midnight after 75 years ❤️
Listening to it at the strole of midnight on the 75th year of our independence 🇮🇳❤️
"The Service Of India means the Service of the millions who suffer" ,"It Means the ending of poverty! and ignorance! and disease and Inequality of opportunity!"
This speech always gets me teared up ❤️
Listening to it today at the stroke of midnight after 78 years 😊🇮🇳❤
Lord, we need politicians with such grace and raw and gentle power.
Wonderful speech by our beloved first prime minister.
Great speech and those words should be our motivation towards a greater India!.....but i must say that in that fabled central hall of the Parliament, one man is missing...whose contribution to the freedom of India is unparalleled and that great man is NETAJI SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE 🙏....he will always be in our hearts and he is an inspiration to millions of indians🇮🇳🙏💓
True. However, he was already dead long before this event.
The Man, the Myth, the Legend Pt.Nehru.
Listening this on 75th anniversary of independence remembering everyone who sacrificed their lives for freedom.
Jai hind 🥰
I'm feeling so fortunate to hear the words of wisdom from such a great and honourable personality 🙇🏻
Listening it Today At the Stroke of midnight after 75 Years ,
Truly Nostalgic !
At the stroke of midnight hour when the world sleeps India will awake to life & freedom...!! this line isn't just a sentence of few words but an emotions that runs through the hearts of 1.38 billion peoples of india
Listening to it today at the stroke of midnight after 75 years🇮🇳
look at how glorious the leaders of congress use to be.... we need such;leaders today
Aye Mate Aye
Fuck off this guy promoted socialism there is nothing glorious about socialism.
@@flaminmongrel6955 Tell me one thing do you think there's any good in capitalism, the ideology which guarantees the selling, transfiguration and transformation and appropriation of culture if it profits someone? Socialism isn't great, but if we have to strive and keep our culture intact we need for us to be neo socialists or neo capitalists, one with sanctions and impositions.
@@denianal9712 freedom idiot.
freedom.
free market.
more jobs
less poverty
@@justkillitho4528 @justkillit ho u forget to mention ..
More divide between rich and poor.
More power to few rich individuals.
More suppression of freedom.
More slavery.
Your low poverty is an short term expectation neglecting the long term potential of society growth.
Ask a economist not an educated fool...!
Poverty is bad but certainly less poverty will also lead to a disaster ....
Everyone wants in a society wants to be rich then their surrounding which thereby means one holding more money thus one rich means one poor...!
Free market is good concept but if decentralised market work wrongly than you will we the one to curse it but no one will be there to help...
Just take an example of wistron case !
Nehru was a modern visionary scientific fellow.He wanted to make India a great nation with progressive thought
What's happening in the country today is an aberration. It'll take some time but we'll certainly be back on the correct path. Let's hope so at least.
Whos listening on 75th independence day like.
Happy 75th independence day 🇮🇳
"The ambition of the Greatest man of Our generation has been to , wipe every tear from every eye! ,That May be beyond Us! But as long as there are tears and suffering! , So long our work! will not be over and so we have to labour and to work and work hard to give reality to our dreams those dream are for India"
At the stroke of midnight, when world sleeps, INDIA will awake to life and freedom.
Salute to PM Nehruji & All the freedom fighters.... And of course our Father of Nation M Gandhiji.
