power, so very typical of the image associated with him. He lived up to his reputation of

being a consummate orator while delivering his 30 minute speech. From diction to pauses,

contributions of the movement and how it is imperative to use the same energy today to

push India to the centre stage of world power. He said that at that point the slogan was
