“At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new…India discovers herself again.”
- Jawaharlal Nehru
(on Indian Independence Day, 1947)
“May the sun in his course visit no land more free, more happy, more lovely, than this our own country!”
