EPIC channel will air a special show ‘Bharat Ki Awaaz’ on August 15, 2018, at 10 pm, which will show the speech delivered by Jawaharlal Nehru to the Constituent Assembly of India in New Delhi on August 14, 1947. The speech will be run along with important, unknown, facts. The speech that was delivered on the eve of the attainment of Independence reads, “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.”
It further reads, “At the dawn of history, India started on her unending quest, and trackless centuries are filled with her striving and the grandeur of her success and her failures. Through good and ill fortune alike, she has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength. We end today a period of ill- fortune, and India discovers herself again.”
