SAROJINI NAIDU: THE BATTLE OF FREEDOM IS OVER
Let's examine a lecture of Sxujini Naidu (1879-1949), she delivered on All India Radio on 15 August, 1947, i.e. on the occasion of our independence. She must have been heard then as a leading poetess and as the first Indian female President of the Congress party. She was also later the first wonian Governor of UP (1947-49). Read the piece below carefully
THE BATTLE OF FREDOM IS OVER I . Oh, world of free nations, ort this day of our freedom, we greet you. Oh, worlcl of natioizs not yet free, or1 rhe day of our freedom we pray for your freedom in the future. 2. Ours has been an epic struggle, covering many years and costing many lives. It has
been ( I struggle, a dram~ticstruggle. It has been a struggle pf heroes chiefly arzotzymsus in their millions. It lzas been a struggle of women transformed into strength and power like the Kali, the goddess of strength they worship. It has been a struggle of youth suddeniy transjigured into power itself, sacrifice and ideals. It has been a struggle of young men and old men, of rich and poor, the literate, the illiterate, the stricken, the outcast, i'ltz leper and the saint. It has been the only revolution in the hole history of the world ?hathas been without bloodshed; and for this we thank one rnar~,one tiny person, who on this day that he has brought to us, is somewhat remote 3
'
in a little far-03 corner of India, wiping the tear of those who feel themselves exiled .from our midst. Mahatma Gandhi, our prophet of non-violence, our general of victory, he taught us a new way of deliverance from evil. He had no device, of his banner excepting non-violence. He had no weapons for his legions excepting sevsclcrifice and suffering. We marched to the tune of faith and hope; and charity that forgives all sins of trespas5ers that ruined our country through the ages. We have to thank him, our leader, whose life is immutable, immortal, in the love of his countrymen, whose days are imperishable, who has created a new civilization for the world to be based, in the years to come on his gospel of love, truth and non-violence. 3. But we wish to ofer loday our thank to the men and women of all races who have striven for India's freedom, the scholars of Europe who restored to us our pride and ancient culture, to the antiquarian and the archaeologist who has discovered for us our own ruined cities, to the missionaries of all countries who chose the life of poverry in ,far-off vitlages and served the poor and the needy and the desolate. To all we owe. rhnnks.
