Modi Calls for Big Dreams on 80th Independence Day

On August 15, India celebrates Independence Day, which is like the country's birthday as a free nation.

This year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a big speech from the famous Red Fort.

He said India should stop thinking small and start dreaming big.

Big dreams, he explained, help the country find courage and strength to get through hard times.

He also remembered the brave freedom fighters, like Bapu, who gave their lives so India could be free.

The prime minister noted that this year marks 150 years of Vande Mataram, a famous song that inspired the freedom movement.

Many places in India have had heavy floods recently.

Modi told the families who lost their things that the whole country is standing with them.

He said the nation is moving forward with new energy, big hopes, and strong determination for the future.
