As India marks its 79th year of Independence, the tradition of the Prime Minister addressing the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort remains more than a powerful and symbolic ritual reflecting the country's hopes, direction, and its evolving place in history.

- PREETHA NAIR @ New Delhi

Since the first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, each speech has served as a mirror to the nation's political climate and collective mood. Nehru's "Tryst with Destiny," delivered just after midnight on August 15, 1947, remains a memorable Independence Day speech in India's history. It marked the nation's foundational moment, laying out the urgent priorities of tackling poverty, inequality, and the widespread challenges of ignorance and disease.
