The newsreel announcing India's independence to US audiences on August 15, 1947 (the first part deals with Pakistan's Independence the previous day). Shows Nehru delivering his famous "Tryst with Destiny" speech to the Assembly in Delhi with Lord and Lady Mountbatten in attendance. Uncut.

  • PEOPLE!!!! STOP ARGUING!!!! We all know that our government is corrupt. However, you can help too, right? Perhaps you could sponsor a family or perhaps help poor kids in education. Think about it and decide if you want to do that. Just talking on Youtube will not help at all.

  • @arpit8044 India wanted to be free from British Raj and jinnah wanted to be free from India and wanted his own nation there is nothing wrong in that. Sikhs had their chance in 1947 to create a Sikh nation but Sikhs at that time said no were going to part of India and Nehru fed all the lies that we will get the same freedom but we didn't so if the chance comes again A sikh should not make a same mistake again.

  • After Independence, the Congress leaders of India forgot their promises, given to the Sikhs. the former colonial kingdoms and Princely States were being divided along language differences. The Sikhs and Punjab were denied any special status in the Constitution Act of India. When the Sikhs asked Nehru what about your promises and he replied the circumstances have now changed. Thank you so much Nehru. But you know what if the Sikhs given a another chance to have a Sikh nation Sikhs will take it

  • as Jaswanth Singh said, India and Pakistan should not lament at partition but rejoice and feel proud for the freedom from British Raj, they have fought together for.

  • jinnah aur mahatma gandhi muradabad hai because they divided india and pakistan.

  • koi murdabad ya zindabad nahi, "PURI DUNIYA HI ZINDABAD HAI".
