On 15 August 2016, India will celebrate its 70th Independence Day. On this special occasion, we look back at some of the best quotes by our freedom fighters. 

Merciless criticism and independent thinking are the two necessary traits of revolutionary thinking - Bhagat Singh

Every citizen of India must remember that...he is an Indian and he has every right in this country but with certain ...duties. - Sardar Vallabhbhai Jhaverbhai Patel

A country's greatness lies in its undying ideals of love and sacrifice that inspire the mothers of the race. - Sarojini Naidu

At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity with pride. - Jawaharlal Nehru.

How can one be compelled to accept slavery? I simply refuse to do the master's bidding. He may torture me, break my bones to atoms and even kill me. He will then have my dead body, not my obedience. Ultimately, therefore, it is I who am the victor and not he, for he has failed in getting me to do what he wanted done. - Mahatma Gandhi

Forget not that the grossest crime is to compromise with injustice and wrong. Remember the eternal law: you must give, if you want to get. - Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose

Revolution is an inalienable right of mankind. Freedom is an imperishable birth right of all. Labour is the real sustainer of society, the sovereignty of the ultimate destiny of the workers. - Bhagat Singh

If yet your blood does not rage, then it is water that flows in your veins. For what is the flush of youth, if it is not of service to the motherland. – Chandra Shekhar Azad
