Tryst with Destiny was a speech made by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India. The speech was made to the Indian Constituent Assembly, on the eve of India’s Independence, towards midnight on 14 August 1947. It focuses on the aspects that transcend India’s history. It is considered to be one of the greatest speeches of all time and to be a landmark oration that captures the essence of the triumphant culmination of the hundredyear non-violent Indian freedom struggle against the British Empire in India. The phrase “rendezvous with destiny” was used by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his 1936 Democratic National Convention speech, inspiring the similar phrase “tryst with destiny” by Jawaharlal Nehru.
