The nine decades between 1858 and 1847 were an important time for India. The country was awakening to new realities, trying to shape her own destiny and was inching her way to freedom. In the process was produced a galaxy of statesmen, social reformers and freedom fighters who were not just exceptional people, but brilliant orator as well. Starting with Queen Victoria`s `Proclamation` and ending with Jawaharlal Nehru`s famous `Tryst with Destiny` speech, this book brings together some of the stirring, inspiring speeches that were delivered at the time.
