Today's Highlighted Video Story: 15th August in 1947 was a momentous day, Britain lost its most profitable colony, acquired through deception, bribery, rape and pillage. Tryst with Destiny was a speech made by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the
first Prime Minister of independent India. The speech was made to the
Indian Constituent Assembly, on the eve of India's independence, towards
midnight on 14 August 1947.
"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".
