Speech on Sri Lanka independence February 4, 1948
Good morning, everyone!
Today, I want to tell you about a special day for Sri Lanka: February 4, 1948. This day is celebrated as Sri Lanka’s Independence Day! On this day, Sri Lanka became a free country after being ruled by another nation for many years.
Before 1948, Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon. The people wanted to be independent and make their own choices. Many brave men and women worked hard to fight for their freedom. They spoke up for their rights and showed great courage.
When Sri Lanka gained its independence, everyone was very happy! The people celebrated with parades, music, and dances. They waved their flags proudly, feeling free and united.
Independence means that a country can decide how to govern itself and build a future for its people. Sri Lanka has beautiful landscapes, delicious food, and rich culture. The people work together to create a better life for everyone.
On Independence Day, we remember the heroes who fought for freedom. Let’s celebrate their bravery and the joy of being free!
Thank you!
