Let us begin by offering our thanks to the almighty God who has made it possible for us to see this day: to the father of the nation who showed us and the world, his infallible method of satyagraha and led us along the path to freedom: And to the countless men and women whose suffering and sacrifice own for us our independence and made possible the establishment of the Sovereign Democratic Republic of India…………nation lived worked and died”.
