INDEPENDENCE DAY SPEECH

Good Morning India, Respected Principal, Mam, honorable chief guest, teachers and my dear friends. Today on 15th August 2013 India is celebrating its 67th Independence day and we are proud to say that we earned our freedom 67 year back, which was by an act passed by the British parliament and we were the first to get our independence through the act which is a mark of respect.

At the midnight hour of August 14, 1947, Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru rose to addressed the nation made his maiden speech in New Delhi, “When the world sleep, India will wake to life and freedom. Now India is the largest democracy of the world. Last year our former School Captain Shivansh Khattari proudly called our nation as a sovereign, Socialist, Secular Democratic, Republic, and we all are really proud of that. But let me remind you all that winning Independent was not the end of our struggle, it was just the beginning of our greatest challenge and that was to make us prosperous.

As a citizen of India, we are proud of its golden past. We had one of the oldest and richest civilization of the world. Today we not only need to be proud of our glorious past but also work to make our present and future better than our past .We need to make our self so capable that we can praise its present and this can be only done, when we work hard for it. And we can only work hard, if we have a feeling of patriotism & nationalism in our heart. Patriotism is a very deep and meaningful word, and its meaning changes according to the demand of time. During pre Independence time, Patriotism meant to get out of our houses and fight against foreign rule, whereas today a true patriot is that person who gives best of his services in the development, progress and upliftment of his nation as the best human resource.

When a solders risk his life at the battle field. It makes a country feel proud, when, a leader work for the development of nation, it makes a county proud, when an

    Gun Safety has been a big topic that people are speaking of all the time. The Second Amendment says that citizens have the right to bear arms. That amendment was created for militias as America had become free and they didn’t want any surprise attacks from Britain incase they tried to take America back, now America and Britain are close allies. Everyday on the news there’s always a shooting and maybe it’s because guns are easy to access. I do not think that civilians need guns. Now some might argue that the police are corrupt and that they don’t want to rely on the police to do something that they can handle but that is their job. If guns are banned than their needs to be higher protection against smuggling as criminals will obviously not…

    I was born in Hanover County, Virginia to two hardworking, tender parents on May 29, 1736. At the youthful age of eighteen, I wed my beloved Sarah Shelton (may she rest in peace) and began working as a planter like my father. After this failed attempt due to a catastrophic fire that consumed our home, I arduously worked as both a student and my own teacher to familiarize myself with the law . My endeavor as a lawyer proved to be prosperous, for I had made a renowned name for myself as an orator. On May 20, 1765 I succeeded in securing for myself a seat in the Virginia House of Burgesses . Time and time again, I found myself in generous opposition with Great Britain and her arbitrary acts of colonial exploitation. As prospects for war in hopes American independence became auspicious, I urged the public to support the American cause and the conviction for unrestricted liberty . The nation’s triumph against Great Britain proved that America is more than equipped to be a nation of prosperity AND democracy. This is a nation where we can choose to govern ourselves in rectitude and solidarity. This is a nation where a Virginian can live side by side with…

    As a member of the Second Continental Congress I see the other side of the King. He is not I tyrant and is just misunderstood. The king was only doing his duty by protecting his colonies from the French and Indians. For this we are forever in debt to the British rule. As William Pitt said “The war would be paid by the king.” The war cost much more than expected, therefore, he needs our assistance to pay for it. Parliament is just trying to help by passing acts. We should not at so quickly in breaking ties with our mother country. Our role as British colonist is to support Britain rather than to separate. We should obey the king’s decision because he is concerned with benefitting the interest of our people. So as a group we should not draw up a declaration of independence.…

The condition was highly critical and grave and thus it was a real predicament for our countrymen to set things right and make a superpower out of rubble but the resilience and hard work of Indians deserves credit.Today things have changed.India is considered to be an emerging superpower of the world.Be it technology,economy or any other area we have inculcated the knack to master all.With the GDP growth touching whopping levels of 9% per annum and a booming sensex the economy seems to be growing at an unprecedented rate.

    Patriotism enlightens us about our paramount duties to our nation, our motherland, as dear and sacred as our own mother. India has a proud heritage of the noblest patriots, who sacrificed all their belongings and even gave up their lives, for the cause of their motherland. The freedom struggle of India which was a golden chapter in the history of the country saw the whole nation revolting against the insolent British, who brutally suppressed the patriotic spirit of the Indians, who were chased like dogs and lath charged when they raised their voices of protest. Our political struggle headed by the unique leader of leaders, Mahatma Gandhi, an embodiment of compassion and tolerance, was a saga of victory for the Indians, who shed blood for a great cause, and the trail of their blood left indelible marks on the sands of time of their sacrificial spirit, which cannot be adequately described in words.…

    by Shannon Mooney According to Ayurveda, health is our natural, balanced state. Ayurveda defines the many substances and influences, both internal and external, that are beneficial and detrimental to our bodies. While avoiding every substance or situation that is unhealthy is nearly impossible in today's world, the wisdom of Ayurveda can boost your understanding of health and support choices that lead to a balanced state of being. Ayurveda offers knowledge to increase awareness of the factors that may cause imbalance and ways to create balance by regulating the systems of the body through diet, lifestyle, herbs, yoga and meditation. The Ayurvedic scope of health is holistic, encompassing a balanced body, mind, and spirit. The experiences we have in our relationships, including thoughts, feelings and emotions, can be equally as influential on our state of health as are foods and other ingested substances. It can be as difficult for a pitta individual to digest a hurtful criticism from their spouse, for example, as it is to digest a plate of greasy french fries. When pitta dosha flares, the body may express this imbalance as an itchy, red rash, excess heat, impatience, or even an emotional explosion of anger. Ayurveda teaches that routine detoxification can be invaluable for maintaining good health during seasonal changes. Summer is the season where pitta dosha accumulates in the body. Particularly if an individual's constitution is pitta predominant, the increase in excess heat can become reactive, settle in the tissues, and manifest as an imbalance if it is not properly eliminated. Ayurveda offers solutions to help the body dispose of toxins as nature intended before they have a chance to take hold and cause disorder. When there is an excess of pitta dosha and a health problem arises, toxins usually accompany it. Common toxins are bacteria, viruses, drugs, heavy metals, pesticides, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants.…
