Independence Day of India
"Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes
when we will 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.... We end today a period of ill fortune, and India
discovers herself again."
- Jawaharlal Nehru
