Jawaharlal Nehru “A Tryst With Destiny” New Delhi | 14 August, 1947 Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. 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, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment, we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity. At the dawn of history, India started on her unending quest, and trackless centuries are filled with her striving and grandeur of her success and failures. Through good and ill fortune alike, she has never lost sight of that quest, forgotten the ideals which gave her strength. We end today a period of misfortunes and India discovers herself again. The achievement we celebrate today is but a step, an opening of opportunity to the greater triumphs and achievements that await us. Are we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future? Freedom and power bring responsibility. The responsibility rests upon this Assembly, a sovereign body representing the sovereign people of India. Before the birth of freedom, we have endured all the pains of labour and our hearts are heavy with the memory of ...

Misinterpretation of historical facts is not uncommon. But when that misinterpretation is repeatedly placed as historical fact then it leads to intentional misinformation. A continued repetition of intentional misinformation by vested parties works on the public psyche so much that they start believing it to be true, which psychologists in recent times term as the ‘illusion of truth’ effect. In contemporary Indian history, even a tall leader like the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru who had the distinction of being revered not only for his statesmanship and global diplomacy, but also as a philosopher and litterateur, did not escape the scalpel of historical defamation through intentional misinterpretation and repeated misinformation. Pandit Nehru became a victim of historical distortion early on in relation to a speech delivered with reference specially to the people of Assam during the Chinese aggression of 1962. Also read: Whenever there is a reference to Chinese aggression in 1962, China’s incursion into Bomdila in the erstwhile NEFA (North East Frontier Agency) and the danger that had loomed large at Tezpur, we inevitably come across remarks on how ‘hurt’ and ‘betrayed’ the people of Assam had felt upon hearing Pandit Nehru’s speech. The speech was broadcast live over All India Radio November 20, 1962. Historical books, biographies and newspaper articles on the Chinese aggression, along with Google searches on the subject will reveal quotes by riv...

That may be beyond us, but so long as there are tears and suffering, so long our work will not be over. And so we have to labour and to work, and work hard, to give reality to our dreams. Those dreams are for India, but they are also for the world." An excerpt from Jawaharlal Nehru's Tryst of Destiny speech, August 15, 1947 Three figures stand next to an early border post between new nation-states of India and Pakistan: The geographical challenges of the border between India and Pakistan – which runs across vast expanses of desert, mountain, glacier and forest – are extreme. To this day, it remains the most militarised border in the world. On August 15, 1947, at the stroke of midnight, India and Pakistan achieved independence from British rule – signalling the beginning of the end of the largest empire in history. Their freedom had been hard fought and came at a huge cost. Contrary to legend, the British had not been keen to devolve power gradually. This st...
