Republic Day speech India 2014 for school children in Kerala

Respected Dignitaries on the stage and my dear friends,

On the eve of India's 64th Republic Day, let me wish all happy Republic Day.

Today is a very special day for all of us, as the whole country celebrates India's Republic Day with pride remembering our great freedom fighters who have laid their life for our freedom. 26th January, being a very significant date makes us recall the memories of millions of individuals who stood united laying foundation for the growth and development of our nation. The freedom that we enjoy today is the restless effort of millions of men and women who stood strong for a general cause, making India free from foreign domination.

Looking back, our country had been laid upon on one of the world's oldest civilization with a large treasure of experience, knowledge and thoughts contributing a lot for building up this nation. The inspiring words given by our great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, Jawaharlal Nehru and others has not only motivated the people during the colonial period but also motivate the young generation of India to hold the head high and move forward. It is the day on which the Indian constitution came in to being which is considered to the real building block of our country. B.R Ambedkar and Sardar Vallabhai Patel have worked at their best to construct the laws which stays firm uniting us under one flag.

During the past years our country had to confront with many obstacles and challenges which have been managed properly in due time. But still there are long lists of problems which have to be handled with care. India had become the home of millions living together with peace and harmony.

There are many Indian who have made us proud gaining much recognition listed on top spots and high ranks in various fields. Our country has achieved a prominent position tagging as one of the most active developing country. We have made our presence strong in technology, space exploration and various other fields. During the past the wise decision and well planning by our leaders have brought down the gap between the haves and the have-nots.

We still have to confront with crimes, corruption, external and internal terrorism which brings our head down before other countries. Let us strive forward and stand united for the good cause of the development of our nation. Jai Hind.
