Read the excerpt from Jawaharlal Nehru's speech "A
Tryst with Destiny."
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
this sorrow. Some of those pains continue even now
Nevertheless, the past is over and it is the future that
beckons to us now.
O The assembly is now responsible for serving the
people
O Millions of people are suffering and are in need of
help
India's future will be one of resting and enjoying
freedom
That future is not one of ease or resting but of
incessant striving so that we may fulfil the pledges we
have so often taken and the one we shall take today
The service of India means the service of the millions
who suffer It means the ending of poverty and
ignorance and disease and inequality of opportunity
India should look to its past to create the new
government
