Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, the brain behind the Constitution of India, made an inspiring speech detailing why certain tough decisions had to be taken by our leaders in the past to ensure a better future for the country and the struggles to ensure the Indian Constitution upheld the values for which India stood. Maulana Azad, the very first Education Minister of India, addressed the UNESCO National Committee and made this speech emphasizing the need for world peace and how there was a need for collective efforts to achieve this end. Lal Bahadur Shastri, the second Prime Minister of India, made a speech with his nowfamous slogan, ‘Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan’, where he elaborates how India has always wanted peace and friendship despite the unrest in Jammu and Kashmir and the disputes with Pakistan. Rajiv Gandhi, the sixth Prime Minister of India, came to power in a period of extreme internal turbulence in the country owing to Operation Blue Star and the subsequent assassination of Indira Gandhi. This speech shows how he came into his own and became a strong political leader.
