"Long years ago we made a tryst
with destiny, and now the time comes when we will redeem our pledge, not
wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. 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." - Jawaharlal Nehru
