Author Description

We present here, a collection of 25 great speeches made by some of the tallest Indian personalities. Many of these personalities are men and women who have made invaluable contributions to our coming together as a nation of people and are the pride and honour of the country. These are people who have made a great impact on the lives around them and thus their words are the gems which had the power to evoke the courage and emotion in people and inspire them to make history. The power of a great speech, especially when everyone listens is something that sets the wheels of history in motion to many great events that changed the face of our known world. Some of these are from the era of the struggle for Indian independence from the colonial rule such as, Subhas Chandra Bose, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru to mention a few. Polar contemporaries such as Nathuram Godse, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar also make an appearance in this collection to present a different perspective. In today’s times, Ratan Tata, N.R. Narayana Murthy, Kiran Bedi, Sachin Tendulkar are defining trailblazers in their own fields. The quality of a great speech is not only the wisdom that comes from the experience of their unique lives but the timelessness of these words which work their magic anytime you hear or read it.
