At midnight, when the world is asleep, India will wake up for life and freedom. Such a moment comes, but rarely comes in history, when we step out of the old age into a new age, when an era is over, when a country's long-pressed soul is liberated. It is a coincidence that on this holy occasion, we are pledging to be devoted to serving India and its people, and to serve the mankind as a whole .... Today we are ending an era of misfortune And India is finding itself again. The achievement we are celebrating today is only a step, opening new opportunities. Even greater victories and achievements are waiting for us. Serving India means serving millions of people. It means to eradicate inequality of poverty, ignorance, and opportunity. The greatest wish of our generation is that the desire to tear every eye. Perhaps this is not possible for us, but as long as people have tears in their eyes, our work will not end. Today once again after the struggle of years, India is awake and independent. The future is calling us. Where should we go and what should we do, to bring freedom and opportunity to the common man, farmers and workers, we can eradicate poverty, create a prosperous, democratic and progressive country. Can we create such social, economic and political institutions that can ensure the fullness of life and justice for every man and woman? No country can become great until its people's thinking or actions are narrow.
