- "Tryst with Destiny" was a speech delivered by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India, to the Indian Constituent Assembly in The Parliament, on the eve of India's Independence, towards midnight on 14 August 1947.
this speech is regarded as one of the greatest speech of 20th century.
Constitution assembly Objectives speech is greater, more important and more relevant than this...🙄
@Might is Right this speech was recited to the assembly not to the country
@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.
No this is not one of the best speech of 20th century it is the best speech of the 20th century
Sublime!
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.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot...
Kajal Rani waaw
Thank u but we can hear that 😅😅😅
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.
*At the stroke of midnight hour when the world sleeps India will awake to life & freedom...!!*
This Gives GOODBUMPS each & every time...!!🔥❤️

at the stroke of midnight,the whole world was not sleeping,and it was a bright day in AMERICA 😂

When it is nighttime in India, it is daylight in the Western countries . It's mean they are not sleeping that time 😂
@@Ramirez321"At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps... who wrote this speech?? Oh nevermind. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world is awake, when we are supposed to be sleeping, we are also awake, which makes this midnight hour an hour when the whole world is awake, and a moment like this comes but rarely in human history..."
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.
I Couldn't have explained this to my foreign friends in a much better way than you have 👍
Contrary to popular belief, Hindi is NOT the national language of India.
👌👌👏
Wow, i finally got the answer.
To add to your 2nd point, not only southern but also the eastern region including WB and North East were not well versed in Hindi back then.
Whenever i feel depressed i just look at my country's freedom fighters and i feel that i won't let my nation go down!
Good boy
@United Provinces of Planet Earth what?
@United Provinces of Planet Earth ? Why you got to work for 9 to 12 hours a day for "money" then you are definitely frustrated and depressed, it's not western stuff it's scientific illness. Plese don't give lectures to others about your half old orthodox knowledge
@United Provinces of Planet Earth I am not understanding you?
@United Provinces of Planet Earth Money is important but one should be alive to earn money...
Came here at 12am today 🙂 75th Independence Day 🇮🇳 May our land prosper and be an example of values to the world 🌍
Listening to this at the stroke midningt when India is celebrating the 75th Azadi ka amrit mahotsav... 🇮🇳❤️❤️❤️ Jai hind.
Me too
I am happy to be called a nehru bhakt. I am no right winger or left winger..but nehru..his socialist ideas and thought process were beyond times.
And how did they ever helped India. IIT/IIM built to provide Indian govt with able engineers and managers are now working for Silicon Valley. Most of PSU became corrupt and got deprecated or privatized. 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
Listening to it today at the stroke of midnight after 74 years 🙂
But now it's 75 years 🙂🙂

Yes.. 12th book pathathunaala thaa intha video paakave vantha
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.
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
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.
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!
His voice is unrealistic .. it bears a subtle grandeur and wisdom 🥀🍷
Listening to this 75 years later. God!! Gives me goosebumps at seeing how far we've come as a nation.
listening to this speech again just few hours before independence day.
Listening to it today at the stroke of midnight after 78 years 😊🇮🇳❤
Listening this today at the stroke of midnight after 75 years🙇♂️
What a speech, will listen tomorrow morning again.
This speech should be mandatory for each & every indian to listen
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..🇮🇳❣️
"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!"
"At the stroke of midnight hour" these words give goosebumps to me.
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. 🙏🏻
Pt. JLN was a visionary. The ignorant people who ridicule him are a disgrace to the nation. India is one of the fastest growing nation today just because of the foundations laid by him and institutions established by him. Thats was the reason MK Gandhi was fond of him. I just can’t see pseudo nationalists Maligning the image of our great leader. HE DESERVES RESPECT.
Absolutely, it was his vision which made difference between India and Pakistan. Tribute to the greatest soul of India.
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
Long live India 🇮🇳.
This speech always gives me goosebumps and Confidence.
I am so fortunate that i understood this man's greatness in this lifetime only.
Well said!
Lol
@Joseph Stalin only a communist can think so
Dear Pt. Nehru ji,
You will be very sad to hear the state of this country today, it is not the India you dreamt of.
People are using british policy of Divide and rule, untouchability, casteism, communalism are still here. 😔😔🇮🇳
Those weren’t british policies
@@orionfernandes4587 They were. The British used communal (not communist, communal) politicians to instigate hatred within the masses, so that's divide and rule. The British turned the Leaders against the People, caste against caste, community against community, party against party, but most importantly: Hindus against Muslims.
If only he knew where India would had to after 70 years of independence
Yeah .
Great legend of India .

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.
Listening after 75 years of independence still goosebumps. #Nherulegacy🇮🇳
So emotional and patriotic this speech is for the Indians .I really cried after this speech
Today, on 75th Independence Day, just want to go through all the great moments that make us what we are today🇮🇳
Listening to this again after Teleprompter fiasco by 56 “ clown
It's the eve of 76th Independence day. India is celebrating Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav ❤️
This speech always gets me teared up ❤️
Wonderful speech by our beloved first prime minister.
Listening to this at the stroke of the midnight hour after 77 yrs
❤❤❤❤
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 🇮🇳
What a wonderful speech Nehru Ji. So ahead of his time.. no leaders can speak such powerful words anymore today
Watching this on the stroke of independence Day 😍
I'm feeling so fortunate to hear the words of wisdom from such a great and honourable personality 🙇🏻
Who is here on 15th august 2021❤️
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.
Jai Hind 🇮🇳🇮🇳 Now it's 75th year for this iconic speech
Listening to it today at the stroke of midnight after 75 years🇮🇳
"We end today a period of ill fortune and India discovers herself again" good slap on the face of British
"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"
Such superb English and selection of words, Nehru's impeccable English is one of its kind...
Happy Independece day guys 2022 long live India
If today we have a Chaiwala as your primeminister it's simply because of pandit jawaharlal Nehru's greatness
We should not demean any prime minister we should respect every person on that position
No it's because of our constitution greatness.noone else
Who is pandit😂 Khan kabhi pandit nahi hote
Narendra Modi has the power in his words and that is why he is considered a great leader. If he has become a prime minister then it only shows that even a "chaiwala" is very capable and intelligent to lead such a powerful country. It proves that every Indian is great.

Best speech ever in Indian history
When soul of a nation finds utterance
Goosebumping speech our.. Pandit.. ஜவஹர்லால் நேரு.. அவர்கள்
I'm a Hindutvavadi, but I love this speech, and have great respect for Pandit Nehru - for all his faults (many of which cost India dear), behind every action or policy of his was not personal profit (unlike most netas today), but rather the question of 'is this beneficial for India or not?' consideration. This is clearly seen in the form of the heavy industry PSUs, a number of national-level technical institutes imparting quality STEM education, and the setting up of various organisations dedicated to the preservation and propagation of classical music and classical dance, among others.
May Lord Ganesha give Nehru's admirers and detractors alike the wisdom and courage of conviction to view Nehru as he was, with both his good sides and bad sides🙏🙏🙏.
On the stroke of midnight listening 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Referring this as my examination POV
India will awake to light and freedom line still gives me chills 🔥🙌
this speech is an absolute 'Gem' 💎i wish i could give nehru uncle ji a hug🥺
Listening it today after Modi's infamous Teleprompter incident happened.
Modi is not even 1% percent compared to the leadership smartness and patriotic in front Of Pandit Nehru
Right here at midnight 75 years of independence completed
Ma’am or sir thanks for this valuable video
My role model. What a visionary he was. The world salutes him.
Long live the idea of India!
Incredible speech by the first prime minister of India ❤❤
Having him is a fortune ⚘️
