Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time

comes when we shall redeem our pledge...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
