Prepare a speech to be delivered on the occasion of independence day use the following points *tribute to martyrs *the value displayed *how freedom needs guardians *our role and responsibility towards our nation
Answers (1).

Homage means to honor and show deep respect to someone publicly. A day has been given to honor such courageous people who lost their lives towards serving their nation which is “Martyr's Day”. It is observed on 30th January of every year which is celebrated for the brave martyrs who died protecting the nation. This day is chosen as Martyr’s day as on this day, Nathuram Godse assassinated Mahatma Gandhi. We observe a minute silence on that day to pay our condolences to the freedom fighters who laid their lives for the nation. Endless statues have been erected in the country and roads, towns, stadiums, airports, and other places are named after monumental figures to honor their service to the nation. I have visited the Cellular Jail in Port Blair of Andaman and Nicobar Islands where the British imprisoned anyone who challenged their ways. The jail’s inmates were mostly independent activists like Batukeshwar Dutt, Babarao Savarkar, and many more were captured and ill-treated. That jail is now a tourist spot which showcases the confinement these brave people were in. Most of the inmates died there as they were jailed because they were exiled from India by the British. Museums all over India are named after these freedom fighters like ‘Nehru Planetarium’ and other educational museums educating us about various fields of education. All of these gestures will remain less against their input for the country. They shed their blood, sweat, and tears to selfless service, so we could see a better tomorrow. On Independence day, kites are flown all over India. We all come together as Indians on that day. I light diyas for the peace of freedom fighters. To this day, our defense forces lose lives at the borders while protecting the nation. It is every citizen’s duty to serve its nation in any way they can, whether it be by protecting it or working for it. I promise to respect the choices of our ancestors and freedom fighters, whose endless struggle has given us a free land to live, to work, to eat in. India has and always will shelter me and I shall die at its service. That will be my biggest honor.
List of Indian martyrs-
Mahatma Gandhi
Bhagat Singh
Shivaram Rajguru
Sukhdev Thapar
Lala Lajpat Rai
Rani Lakshmiba
Deependra Verma

Pm modi talked about india's talent and potential in a poem he recited at the end of his speech on the country's 75th independence day at the red fort. .
Prime Minister Narendra Modi ended his speech on the country’s 75th Independence Day on Sunday with a poem as he said nothing can stop India's dreams and aspirations from being fulfilled in the 21st century. PM Modi said today is the right time to start a new chapter in India's development journey by tapping into the unused potential. PM Modi stressed he has full faith in the country’s youth and said that this is a "can-do generation" and can achieve every goal. "Our strength is our vitality, our strength is our solidarity. Our life force is the spirit of the nation first,” PM Modi, who was wearing a traditional saffron safa or a headgear with red patterns and a long tail, also said.

Addressing the nation from the ramparts of the 17th-century Mughal era Red Fort on the occasion of 75th Independence Day, PM Modi said he is not a soothsayer but believes in action. The Prime Minister said every person will have to join hands to fulfil the resolutions the country has taken.

PM Modi recited a poem at the end of his nearly 90-minute speech on Independence Day. He recited a few lines during his Independence Day speech and the poem was also shared by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) on its Twitter account.
Roughly translated the poem recited by PM Modi reads:
"This is the time, the right time
Precious time of India,
There's a power of innumerable arms,
There is patriotism everywhere,
Get up and wave the tricolour,
Hoist India's fate,
This is the time, the right time
There's nothing that you can't achieve,
Get up and start working,
Know your potential,
Know your duty to all,
This is the precious time of India,
It's time, right time”.

Narendra Modi’s Independence Day speech: For 2019, from Lal Qila
Pm narendra modi’s independence day speech was bound by the exigencies of a government in its final year before an election. but it still had some soaring moments, and omissions..

It could be said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered his Election 2019 speech on Independence Day. In all probability, however, the apparent lack of fit was deliberate. In his four years in power, the PM has been described, by critics and admirers, as being in untiring election mode. He is a campaigner who revels in the jab and thrust of electoral battle. A prime minister who has electioneered long and hard in the assembly polls his party has fought, and mostly won, since 2014. It is not surprising, then, that his fifth I-day speech, the last of this term, should teem with achievements claimed and showcased. Or that, between the lines, PM Modi should be sending out the message that he is not yet done and will be back, that he has already set himself goals for the second tenure he expects to win in 2019. The announcement about sending an Indian into space by 2022, or the reiteration of the promise to double farmers’ incomes by the same year, is not incidental.
In a speech that concentrated on sketching before-and-after Modi government scenarios, there were fewer moments of transcendence of the political faultlines. In 2014, in his very first I-day speech as PM, he had struck a refreshingly encompassing note, by presenting cleanliness as a national project in which everyone must pick up a broom, lend a hand. The newly elected PM Modi had also appealed to parents to mind their sons instead of policing their daughters, and asked countrymen for a 10-year moratorium on casteism, comunalism, violence. Those wide appeals that drew in everyone, government and opposition, and straddled social divides, were conspicuous by their absence four years later at Red Fort. There was a moment when the PM seemed to strike a more inclusive note as he drew for the aam taxpayer a link between her tax and social welfare. For the rest, however, he spoke as a PM of a BJP government wooing the voter. He made at least two big announcements — the launch of a mammoth government-funded health care programme in September and permanent commission for women in the army — but set them in the backdrop of a nation on the move since 2014 by breaking the policy paralysis and straitjackets that had held it back till then. The PM spoke of GST and MSP increase, rural electrification and the new insolvency and benami property laws as measures and policies that had been neglected and delayed by earlier governments that were too lazy, corrupt or inefficient to act in the people’s interest.

““ Hum tod rahe hain zanjeerein/Hum badal rahe hain tasveerein (We are breaking the shackles, changing the ima”e)”, the PM recited. But what was missing was prime ministerial words of reassurance — for those who feel left out of the moving, changing image because they do not agree with, or are at odds with, the ruling ideology. And those, including and especially the minorities, relegated to the margins of the frame.

Why Prime Ministers started reading a written speech at Red Fort on Independence Day
A look back at why Independence Day speeches were read from a written text

[dropcap color=”#008040″ boxed=”yes” boxed_radius=”8px” class=”” id=””]I[/dropcap]ndian Prime Ministers(PM) were making extempore speeches till 1986 from the ramparts of Red Fort on Independence Day – August 15. Prime Ministers from Jawaharlal Nehru to Rajiv Gandhi used papers having key points to be made in the speech. They used to look at the paper to ensure they are covering the salient points. Prime Ministers would take at least two to three days to prepare for making their speech at Red Fort, say veteran civil servants who worked in the Prime Minister’s Office. They say, in those days speech points will be ready by August 12 and the PM will be fully immersed in it, preparing his speech. From 1987 to 2013, all Prime Ministers from Rajiv Gandhi to Manmohan Singh shifted to a full written speech. There is a funny reason behind this. This 26 year old custom was changed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his maiden Independence speech on 2014.
Reason for switching to written speech
[dropcap color=”#008040″ boxed=”yes” boxed_radius=”8px” class=”” id=””]I[/dropcap]n his 1986 extempore speech, Rajiv Gandhi committed a gaffe. During his speech he mentioned Independence Day as Republic Day. Veteran officials say, Rajiv repeated this mistake two or three times. Subsequently Doordarshan and Akashvani were forced to delete this blunder from their archives. The print media had a field day publishing cartoons and having fun at the Prime Minister’s expense. From the following year, Rajiv Gandhi started delivering a written speech. Rajiv was not an orator. But orators like P V Narasimha Rao and Atal Bihari Vajpayee were also forced to follow this custom imposed by the bureaucrats. Veteran bureaucrats say that by early 2000, there was a talk to fix Teleprompters for Prime Ministers speech and discussions were in progress with Doordarshan for installing it. But no one decided to take a risk as it was an open area. Vajpayee actually wished to make an extempore speech. But bureaucracy prevailed on him. Bureaucrats argued that Independence Day speech is an occasion for the PM to make policy decisions of the government and there should be no mistake and hence it is better to continue the existing arrangement, to which Vajpayee agreed. The 26 year old custom is changed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He too was advised by the bureaucracy, but ignored it and went ahead and gave an extempore speech, keeping the salient points on a paper.

Write “Our Prime Minister”. “Indian Prime Minister…” makes gap & less love for the nation.
Good comprehensive story, well-timed.
Good story, timely posted.
It is ideal for any P M to make his independence day address from a written document.It’s an occasion to spell out future plans, policies and vision and not a test of oratory or ingenuity.With opposition ready to pounce upon every omitted dotted ‘ i ‘s and crossed ‘t’ s, ready to accuse negligence if any point is missed out and largely the MSM ready to attribute hidden meanings and motives for every thing unsaid it is safe to depend on a written speech for reference and future guidance.
Kindly cover US Presidential run ups and show why Indian press and MSM are anti Trump from the word go!This starling similarity with NaMo bashing in 2013-14 cannot be missed.Also do report whether there are anti Trump lobby within Republicans or is this also a propaganda?
Here are several stories we have covered on US President election – https://www.pgurus.com/tag/uspresident/

President Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to post a video, in which he wished the American people a happy Independence Day. In doing so, the ex- Celebrity Apprentice host gave a brief history lesson, emphasizing the United States’ victory over Great Britain in the Revolutionary War hundreds of years ago.
“My fellow Americans, [first lady] Melania and I are truly honored to wish every American a happy Independence Day,” Trump began. “It was 242 years ago today in Philadelphia that 56 brave representatives of the American people adopted our Declaration of Independence. They announced to the world that America would be free and America would be independent. They pledged their lives, their fortune and their sacred honor. In so doing, they forever changed the course of human history.”
The president then acknowledged George Washington and “his army of brave patriots” who “fought a long, tough war with the British to win America’s freedom.” Trump continued, “Win, they did. From Bunker Hill to Saratoga to Yorktown, American soldiers fought and died to secure our independence and to make a sovereign nation.”
He added: “Today as we celebrate the Fourth of July with friends and family, let us never forget that our freedom has been earned through the blood, sweat and sacrifice of American heroes. And these were great American heroes.”

The reality star turned politician also took a moment to acknowledge veterans of the armed forces and current military members.
“And let us share the grateful heart of our nation with every veteran and member of the United States’ armed forces — truly special people,” he said. “We are in awe of their courage and we are eternally in their debt. Together we honor their noble sacrifice by pledging our love and loyalty to our country, our flag and our fellow citizens.”
“We are and will always be one people, one family and one glorious nation under God,” Trump concluded. “Happy Fourth of July and God bless America.”
Trump’s address comes just days after demonstrators flooded more than 700 marches across the country to protest the president’s controversial immigration policies, which have separated thousands of children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Trump took to Twitter amid the protests to show his support for Immigration and Customs Enforcement as some Democrats called for major changes to the agency. Tweeting Saturday from New Jersey, Trump urged ICE agents to “not worry or lose your spirit” and wrote that “the radical left Dems want you out. Next it will be all police.”
