Speech on Independence Day Good morning to all my teachers, parents and dear friends. I am Sneha. I am in first class. Today we all gather here to celebrate our Independence Day. Independence means the state of being free and not controlled by another person or country. India got independence on 15 August 1947 from British rule. We got independence with the help of many national leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Nehru, Netaji Bose, Lokoman Nithilap, Bhagat Singh, Vir Savarkar and many other freedom fighters. So we must respect all of them. Janagana Manu is our national anthem. Vande Matram is our national song. Our national plaque, Tiranga is the symbol of the nation flag. I love my India. I like to say one line. Each star-vest India is best. Jai Hind.
