Assembly Script
Veer:
Good morning respected Principal, teachers, and my dear friends. Today, we bring to you a
special assembly on a bold and unforgettable chapter of India’s history.
Shaurya:
This was not just a movement — it was a call for complete freedom, a symbol of unity,
courage, and sacrifice. To uplift our thoughts through the eternal teachings of the Bhagwat
Gita, I would call my friend Soham to recite a shloka.

Thankyou Soham for the inspiring Shloka. Here is Chaitanya for the Thought for the Day,
which reflects the spirit of the freedom struggle.

Shaurya:
Thankyou Chaitanya for the wonderful thought. Now I would like to call Samiksha and
Rajvardhan to enlighten us further about the topic.
Rajvardhan and Samiksha :
Good Morning respected Principal, teachers, and dear friends,
Today, we remember a turning point in India’s freedom struggle — the Quit India
Movement. On 8th August 1942, Mahatma Gandhi gave the historic call: “Do or Die”,
demanding that the British Quit India immediately. This was not just a political movement
— it became a true people’s revolution.
Across the country, people rose together — students, farmers, workers, and women — all
united by one dream: complete independence. They joined with courage, hope, and the
firm belief that freedom was their right.
The movement had three key features:
First, mass participation — lakhs of ordinary Indians stepped in fearlessly, ready to face
arrest or worse.
Second, non-violence — even when faced with harsh punishments, people held on to
Gandhiji’s principle of peace.
Third, national unity — people from all castes, religions, and regions stood shoulder to
shoulder.
The impact of this movement was powerful. It shook the British Empire, drew global
attention, and inspired generations to come. The Quit India Movement was more than just
a protest — it was a national awakening. A reminder that when we stand united, no force
can stop us.
(Thankyou and have a great day ahead.) Both together
Veer:
Thankyou Rajvardhan and Samiksha for the impactful speech. Let us now witness four
powerful episodes from our freedom struggle. Each one represents a different form of
satyagraha and non-violent resistance that shook the foundation of British rule.
Narrator 1 (Sovit):
In 1940, when public speeches were banned by the British, Mahatma Gandhi launched
Individual Satyagraha. Brave leaders like Vinoba Bhave came forward alone, speaking the
truth and accepting arrest peacefully. This act proved that one voice rooted in truth is
stronger than fear.
(Tableau 1: Student calmly speaks in front of a crowd, reads a statement, then is arrested
by British soldiers without protest.)
Narrator 2 (Sadhika):
Next came Dharasana Satyagraha, 1930. A group of unarmed volunteers peacefully
approached a British salt depot. What followed was shocking — they were beaten brutally,
yet no one retaliated. The world saw India’s courage — and the true strength of non-
violence.
(Tableau 2: Volunteers march with dignity. British officers beat them; they fall silently.)
Narrator 3 (Savi):
Earlier that same year, Gandhiji had led the Salt March — a 240-mile walk to the sea in
Dandi. There, he picked up a handful of salt, breaking British law. This simple act sparked
nationwide protests. Only salt was used for this purpose because it was a symbol of basic
rights, taxed by the British. It showed that even the smallest act of resistance could become
a revolution.
(Tableau 3: Gandhji walks with followers, reaches shore, bends down, and picks up salt with
calm pride.)
Narrator 4 (Dikshesh):
And now, we move to Peshawar, 1930. Here, the unarmed Khudai Khidmatgars, followers
of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, stood still as British troops opened fire. They were beaten and
killed, but not one lifted a hand. They were called the Servants of God, and their bravery is
etched in India’s history. (Tableau 4: Pathans in white robes stand in lines. Gunshots echo.
Some fall. The rest stand still.)
Shaurya:
Thankyou dear friends. The Quit India Movement was a turning point in India’s journey to
independence. It showed the world the strength of collective action, truth, and unity.
Veer:
Let us draw inspiration from this great movement. Let us remember the sacrifices of those
who fought, not with hatred, but with courage, conviction, and compassion.
Both Anchors (together):
Let us honour their legacy by being honest, united, and responsible citizens of India.
Jai Hind!
