II Chat Club #56(Independence Special)

SAARE JAHAN SE ACCHA, HINDUSTAN HUMARA!

On the 15th of August, 1947, India was declared an independent state, after being ruled for about 350 years, first by the British East India Company, and subsequently, by the British Empire. At first, they shared friendly cultural and trade ties with the Mughals, who were in charge back them, but the gullible Mughals did not realize that the friendliness was all a show, and they had other plans. Before they knew it, the British took over the land. Soon, a friendly beginning become a struggle for survival and freedom. Thousands and thousands of freedom fighters fought together, age, heritage, class no bar, to achieve one goal: independence. The first breakthrough came through the Revolt of 1857, and soon we began to see a shift in the attitude of Indians. Finally, at midnight, 15th August 1947, India gained independence from Britain when Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru hoisted the Indian Flag at the Red Fort(Lal Qaila) in New Delhi.

 

Here's the video of his speech:
