Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, after becoming the PM of the Independent state of India, gave his inaugural speech at midnight on the eve of India’s independence (on 15 August 1947), which became quite famous and named Tryst with Destiny. This speech is considered the best speech of the 20th century. It fits well with that special day and captures the essence of the last day of the Indian independence movement against British colonial rule in India.
