At the stroke of midnight on August 14, 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru's 'Tryst with Destiny' speechPandit Jawaharlal Nehru's famous speech which is titled as Tyrst with Destiny:At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance..... We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again.
