Respected listeners: Books are one of the most valuable inventions of man. There is no denying of the fact that books are life and breathe for a wise and enterprising man to rise to the cherished heights. Every extraordinary person is, by one way or the other, indebted to the wisdom of books. People who have burnt mid night oil on books have finally worked wonders.

Respected listeners: Can we ever think of qualifying IAS, KAS, AIEEE, MBBS AIEEE and other prestigious examinations without the support of books. Can we afford to pass the board examination without having books close to our breasts?  Can we afford to underestimate the role of books in our career building? No, my respected listeners, we cant- because for reaching the cherished heights we need strength and that strength lies in the books.

Respected listeners: Books speak to me. They know nothing but wisdom. They are the custodians of extraordinary human endeavour, be it science, art, literature or other disciplines.

Thus he found himself getting admitted in Horrow School of England. After completing his schooling, Pt. Nehru was sent to Trinity College Cambridge to complete his law degree. It was in 1912 that the family was seen according a phenomenal welcome to its barest or son-Jawaharlal Nehru.

Karan a student of 10^th class has to take part in a speech competition on the topic non-violence: a relevant concept even today. Write a speech for him entitled “Gandhiji- my favourite leader”. Use the outline given below for developing the speech.

Gandhiji-My Favourite Leader Born on 2nd Oct, 1869 at porbander, Gujarat. Did law degree in England. Practised law in South Africa. Returned to India. Take active part in the freedom struggle of India. Newer used violent means to free his motherland. Propounded non-violence. Forced the British to quit India.

                                          “Speech”

Worthy guest of honour, respected teachers, dear brothers and sisters, I am Karan from HSS Behrampora. I am going to tell you something about the topic “Gandhi-My Favourite Leader”.

Listeners:- it was the bright and beautiful morning of October,2^nd, 1869,that the sun at porbander Gujarat opened its eye to see the apostle of truth and non-violence getting birth in a simple family, who could not have ever thought that the child would grow to such heights which could make all other heights seen negligible. This child was none other but Gandhi.

Listeners, Gandhi was not any extraordinary soul at school. When after graduating he was sent to England for pursuing degree in law he was again proven an average student. It was only when he went South Africa that the stream of consciousness was aroused in law. He could not bear the plight of Indian labourers in South Africa. He fought for their rights at foreign soil and showed his countrymen a direction to resist oppression.

Listeners, Gandhiji, returned India in 1915 but assumed the leadership of Indian National Congress in 1921.during this time he understood the pros and cons of freedom struggle harboured by Indian masses. Gandhiji developed a course of actions based upon the principal and non-violence. And he named it as Satyagrah. This Satyagrah promoted on violence and civil disobedience as the method of resistance. Gandhiji was never titled towards using violent means to free his motherland from foreign occupation. His salt Satyagrah, daandi march, swadeshi movement, quit India movement etc were fully conceived with the principles of non violence.

Listeners: Gandhiji was arrested many times for harbouring the honest cause of independence. But he did never yield his passive resistance has great relevance even today. The world needs to embrace Gandhian philosophy move ahead. Peace has always relevance and disputes can always be settled by peaceful means. If Gandhiji can draw away Britishers from Indian soil that too with his non violent means why cant we? So, my dear listeners, we must use Gandhian way of resistance to procure peace and stability for our people. (Thanks)

(iv)  Ishrat is the student of HSS Seelu. She has to participate in the Iqbal day celebrations. She makes the below outline and develops the speech for the occasion. Reproduce the speech “Iqbal- My Favourite Poet” for Ishrat.

Iqbal- My Favourite Poet Born in 1873 in Sialkot Lahore. Learnt Urdu, Persian and English at school. Graduated from Govt. College Lahore. Went Cambridge for further studies. Worked as lecturer of history, philosophy and English. Received PhD degree from Munich University Germany. Wrote much poetic collections. Awarded with knight hood in 1922. Died in 1938.

Ans.                              “Speech”

 Worthy judges of the occasion, respected teachers and dear fellow students I am “Ishrat” from HS Seelu enjoying my privilege to speak on the topic “Iqbal My Favourite Poet”.

Listeners: the poet of the East, as Iqbal is called was born on Feb, 22, 1873 in Sialkot Pakistan. At Skotch Mission School Sialkot Iqbal showed his true colours by mastering several languages at early age besides consolidating his skill of writing prose and poetry. Dear listeners : after getting groomed at the hands of Molvi Gh. Hassan. Iqbal had an equally proficient teacher at Govt. College Lahore. It was none other than Professor Arnold who inspired Iqbal very much and Iqbal graduated with distinction and was conferred upon two gold medals. He studied further and did masters degree in philosophy. His scholarly aptitude made the govt. Appoint him as the lecturer of history and philosophy in the Oriental College Lahore and later Assistant Professor at Govt. College Lahore.

Listeners: Iqbal’s thirst for knowledge took him to Cambridge was he attended a course of lectures on philosophy by Mc Taggard at Trinity College. A high degree of philosophy was conferred on him by this college. Here again he felt the thirst of knowledge and completed a valuable thesis on Persian mysticism and received the degree of PhD from the university of Munich Germany in 1908. On his return from Germany Iqbal passed his law examination at Lincoln’s Inn.

Listeners: Iqbal as I proclaimed earlier is my favourite poet. His poetry has a magical rhythm, a metaphorical language and a universal message. His poetry inculcates human values, religious mindset and patriotic feelings. His every poetic collection is fantastic. Bangi-Dara, Bali-Gabriel,Zarbi-Kaleem,Trumgani-Hijar etc have tremendous readership all over the world. Iqbal’s poetry strikes hard on ignorance and inaction, and retains tremendous aesthetic taste simultaneously.

Listeners: On the death of Queen Victoria, Iqbal wrote a pathetic poem which was widely appreciated in all quarters,. Consequently as an appreciation, the Govt. conferred knighthood upon Iqbal in 1922.

Listeners: this great poet, philosopher and saint breathed his last on 21of April, 1938. By all means Iqbal left us on that day. But the great poet is survived by his poetry which is no less than the Talisman for the humanity. (Thanks)

By: Tariq Ahmad Malik

Master: GHS Dangiwacha

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Worthy headmaster, respected teachers, dear brothers and sisters. I am Asmat from 10th A, and today on this morning assembly show, i want to deliver a short speech on the topic "National Integration".

Listeners: National Integration is the feeling of togetherness of the people of a nation while cutting across their religious or linguistic lines. Despite practicing different beliefs, languages or cultures, when people of the nation place the integrity of their nation first as their pious collective cause, we call it national integration.

Listeners: In a nation where people invariably  love their motherland, we find the telling example of unity in diversity. Such nations are hard to be subdued.

Listeners: In the nation like ours we find that the soldiers on the border are tied in different religious, linguistic, social and cultural belief system, but they guard the borders with equal loyalty giving the enemies sleepless nights. This rainbow gathering of soldiers are always ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the nation.

Listeners: All the people of the nation must show mutual respect and tolerance towards each other. In order to promote communal harmony, they ought to celebrate the holidays of every religion and exchange gifts on these auspicious occasions of celebrations. This will go a long way in making the nation strong.

Listeners: Students must be taught the nation's history in-depth. They must be told how much price the nation has paid to get the nation freed from the imperialists. They must be told the stories of the heroes of the freedom struggle. Students must be taught to respect the national symbols like those of national anthem, national flag, national emblem and the the law of their motherland. Love for the sovereignty of the nation must spring from the heart of every student.

Listeners: National integration is the need of the hour. We must inculcate the habit of sharing and caring among the people of different creeds. Five fingers of the hand when join, they help the boxing champions knock down their rivals. So, listeners, lets work together for tasting the welcome fruits of time proven wisdom 'Union is Strength', and build our nation on modern lines.

Thanks.

Speech: Eve Teasing on public places.

By: Tariq Ahmad Malik

Master GHS Dangiwacha.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Worthy guest of honour, respected teachers, dear brothers and sisters. I am Shafia, a class 10th student from Govt. Girls High School Dangiwacha. I want to speak something on the given topic "Eve Teasing On Public Places".

Listeners: I am one of the millions of daughters of Mother Eve. Like millions of other daughters of Eve,  i also opened my eyes in a male dominated society. I, as well as my sisters are teased at every public place for unknown reasons. Every were we find lustful eyes awaiting us.

Listeners: we, the girls of this nation are harassed everywhere; be it the streets, the bus stands, or the public parks, we always find unwanted and immoral comments being hurled upon us everywhere. Wolf whistling and cat calling has now turned into a routine for these wayward Romeos.

Listeners: woman folk is often  blamed that they provoke males by wearing scanty clothes. Does it give the men license to harass the women. In our male dominated society even the women wearing burka are not spared from eve teasing.

Listeners: society is needed to be corrected on ethical lines. It is the duty of the parents,  the teachers,  and the religious scholars to inculcate moral values in the youth. The youth are needed to be motivated to respect the women folk. The girls are also needed to be empowered so that they may not fall easy victims of eve teasing.

Listeners: the need of the hour is to bring the crime of Eve Teasing under the domain of the law. Severe punishments are needed to be put in place for those who  harass the women unnecessarily.

Listeners: women should also work for making their body strong enough to resist this crime. They should take daily exercises, do jogging, learn martial arts, and keep calling the police in time of need. Using all these possible measures, it is expected that the crime of eve teasing could be brought  to the minimum.

Thank.

"The Role The Youth In The Modern J&K"

Class 10th speech

By: Tariq Ahmad Malik

Master GHS Dangiwacha

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Worthy guest of honor, respected teachers, my dear brothers and sisters, i am Bisma Shiekh from GHS Dangiwacha; and the topic of my speech is

Listeners: The Youth are the real asset of every nation. They are the pride of the nation. They lead the nation towards unprecedented heights.

Listeners: The role of the youth in modern j&k is tremendous. Since They are invariably well educated, They know what their nation expects from them. They are well aware of the potential of human capital of j&k. They have the knowledge of the gilt-edged sectors of the state economy.Thus they have a clear vision of the modern j&k.

Listeners: The youth of this state are full of innovative ideas. They know how to bring strong opinions to the table. They are capable of bringing positive changes in the working system of the state.

Listeners: The youth of j&k have got hot blood, and when it gets stirred up they fight any force whether it be corruption, black marketing, injustice or undesired social traditions. In its youth modern j&k finds a ray of hope.

Listeners: Kashmiri youth have always proven that they can not afford to be sick of being the victim all the time. They know that it is necessary, some times, for peace lovers to lose patience if they are poked too long. In love the are invariably the shade of the Chinar but in anger the ember of the same.

Listeners: The youth of j&k know how to use the power of the fertile brains to bring positive changes in the social set up. They are determined to bring  their motherland out of all possible troubles.

Listeners: Kashmiri youth have proven that they possess the best brains. They get a sizeable share of the prestegious IAS quota every year. In sports kashmiris know how to produce Tajamul Islam and Hashim in the tender age. The youth are proving their mettle in MNC's and thus helping the state to maintain per-capita income two folds than that of the national averages.

Listeners: The need of the hour is that the youth of the state create consensus that the battle of the pride is won only when the hearts are allowed to dream of love rather than of hatred. They need to guide the oldies that Kashmir needs world class scientists, technocrats, philosophers, statesmen and the economists to make her voice audible in the world. Lets hope we will wake up to this reality.

Thanks

.Speech on –“ Environmental pollution”

 By: Tariq Ahmad Malik(BHS chountiwari)

Worthy headmaster BHS Chountiwari Machel, Respected teachers, dear brothers and sisters- Asalaam alikum. Today I am going to deliver a short speech on the topic “Environmental pollution ”

Listeners: Cleanliness is next to godliness while as pollution is a terrible enemy to mankind.Man has been, from the very beginning, using food, water and air for his survival. These things do support life invariably, provided they are hygienic. Today we find most of our water bodies polluted. We dread to breathe air and fear to eat fruits, vegetable, and sea products. Who has changed the composition of these life supporting materials? The answer is very much known to us.

Listeners: It is our unfailing greed for fortune making that has made this planet hazardous. If the water of our water bodies is virtually poison whom should you blame? Is it the barbaric animals like lions, bears and pythons who have ravaged our water reservoirs . No, it is but the civilized man of the present day who works constantly for the destruction of this planet. It must not be a surprise if World War 3rd is waged in the name of water because we have polluted it to the core.

Listeners: Today’s civilized man feels no shame while throwing both industrial refuse and house refuse in water bodies. Today’s civilized man has no regrets while allowing his industries, factories, and vehicles emit poisonous smoke and pollute the air. He has no regrets to dump plastic products in corn fields. He has no regrets that ozone layers is depleted by his efforts. He has no regrets that concentration of carbon compounds in on the rise .He, instead of this, keeps on eroding the forests  from the planet.

Listeners: Man has, because of his economic prospects encouraged global warming, caused acid rains, depleted ozone layer. He alone is the cause of destruction of this planet and alone has to explore the remedy. So, listeners ,lets unite and work for making our environment pollution free by treating industrial refuse scientifically. Lets plant more and more trees. Lets unite in the name of making this earth a safer planet.(thanks).

Speech on –“Evils Of Dowry”                        By: Tariq Ahmad Malik(BHS chountiwari)

Worthy headmaster BHS Chountiwari Machel, Respected teachers, dear brothers and sisters- Asalaam alikum. Today I am going to deliver a short speech on the topic “Evils Of  Dowry”

Listeners: Dowry is such an evil that has eroded the fabric of Indian society to its core. Due to this menace the girls from poor families alone are compelled to suffer the burns. Their parents fail to amass the wealth to be passed over to the grooms. In many cases girls from this section of the society remain unmarried for the whole life.

Liteners: Sometimes ,owing to the social pressure, some grooms remain from staking the claim for dowry, and bring home the brides with out it. Such grooms ,soon after the wedding, start their high handedness, and pressurize their spouses  to bring dowry.Such girls are brutally tortured, and in many cases compelled to commit suicide.

Listeners: In the country where people perform the puja of Durga, Sita ,Radha and Yashuda,but they don’t shy away from burning alive the daughters of the poor families in the name of dowry.

Listeners: among scores of the evils prevalent in India, murder in the name of dowry is the worst. And it is the youth who have kept a price tag on their heads.The biggest irony of Indian society is that the student in IAS exam writes a thought provoking essay on the topic “ Evils Of Dowry”, qualifies the exam, and becomes IAS officer, and  when he is to be married ,he demands the dowry of one crore rupees.

Listeners: It is the youth of this country who has to change himself for the good of the society. Youth need to come forward and set precedence by performing simple marriages. They have to float the message that how sheer injustice it is to demand from a father both his beloved daughter as well as property. Can’t the education given to the daughters suffice for their dowry. So,dear listeners, Lets unite to make the society groom on moral values. The law enforcing agencies have also a dominant role to play in this direction. Lets hope our society awakens to the seriousness of this menace. (thanks).

Speech on “ Disadvantages of Mobile Phone for Students”      

 By: Tariq Ahmad Malik(Master BHS Chountiwari Machel)

Worthy headmaster BHS Chountiwari Machel, Respected teachers, dear brothers and sisters- Asalaam alikum. Today I am going to deliver a short speech on the topic-“ Disadvantages of Mobile Phone for Students  ”

Listeners: Every scientific invention is a boon for mankind provided it is kept in safe hands. Mobile phone is no exception to it. Students can use this great invention for their benefit, but they make its use to shatter their whole preference list.While at schools ,students are expected to ensure the progress in  their health, career , and character  simultaneously. This progress can only be expected when students hold dear books, teachers, and libraries. Alas! Today’s students are allured towards other things which bar them from keeping close to their ambition.

Listeners: Once the students make room in their bags for mobile phones, all the equations are shattered .Instead of keeping on books, and pondering for comprehension, students keep on pondering how to write comments on whatsup, how to update status on face book, which photo to upload, and  which friends to tag in their status. When this is the reality on ground, where from the students may find time to complete homework, compile assignments, and solve mathematical calculations.

Listeners: How can the students safeguard their character when they line up their emotions for caressing trash stuff? How come their career be bright when they often postpone their studies, and while away time on mobile phones? There is no denying of the fact that mobile phone has a bright side also, but student community never mind looking that side.

Listeners: Studies have shown that excessive use of mobile phone expose the users to the deadly radiations prone to causing cancers. Thus the student community must wakeup to this reality by having self retrospection. They must say a flat “NO” to mobile culture .Doing this will be the sole antidote for the safety of their health, career, and character. (thanks).
