Long before Shashi Tharoor made us proud with his speech claiming India to be the rightful owner of the Kohinoor, and TED Talks became the new bastion for discussing and spreading radical new ideas, there was a man who did us proud on a world platform. Swami Vivekananda’s speech at the first Parliament of the World’s Religions, held in Chicago, is considered among his most significant contributions to the world — so much so that a three-day world conference was organised to commemorate his 150th birthday in 2012. It was an impressive breakdown of the ancient philosophy of Hinduism — delivered with crisp logic and scientific insight. The speech made him a hero in the US. His opening lines “Sisters and brothers of America!” earned him a 2-minute long standing ovation. Just imagine what effect the rest of his speech would’ve had. Here are a few excerpts from his speech that will convince you why celebrating the National Youth Day on his birth anniversary is so apt.

Good to remember Swami Vivekanand on a day. 
he only said - garv se kaho hum hindu hain.
in 1897 - some one asked him when india will get independence ? he replied after 50 years.
n we got independence exactly after 50 years.

Are you sure that we are independent India? I feel still we are fighting for our rights.
