“Today I stand here, stand here with a dream of building a new Nepal, with a fire of hope and passion burning within me. But my heart is heavy because this dream seems to be slipping away. Rise and shine, futures of this upcoming imperial empire.

I, Avishkar Raut, the head boy of this everlasting imperial institute, Holy Bell English Secondary School, welcome you with open arms to our 24th annual program. I put myself before you this moment to shed light within your consciousness by piercing the dark limbus that circles above you. I am present here today to immortalize a monumental change in the course of history.

Nepal, our mother, this country gave us birth, nurtured us. But what did it ask in return? Just our honesty, our hard work, our contribution. But what are we doing? We are bounded by the chains of unemployment, seeing a broad insource of opportunities.

We are trapped by the selfish games of political parties. Corruption has woven a web that is extinguishing the light of our futures.

Youth, rise! We are the torchbearers of change. If you do not raise our voices, who will? If you do not raise our voices, who will? If you do not build this nation, who will?

We are the fire that will burn away the darkness. We are the storm that will sweep away injustice and bring prosperity. Our ancestors shed their blood to give us this nation. We cannot sell it. We cannot lose it.

We are the fire. We will burn every despair away. Now, we must decide. Will we? Now we must decide. Will we drown in the darkness of despair or rise as the sun of hope? Will we? Will we change the fate of this nation or will we let it remain in shackles?

King Birendra once said, ‘Even if I die, shall my country live on?’ All the youths, carry these words in your heart and engrave a monument of change in the course of history.

Nepal is ours and its future is in our hands. Jai Yuga! Jai Nepal!”

@Marshalist mam awersję do takiej hitlerowskiej formy przemowy, darcie mordy w jakimś podniosłym tonie. Powiedziałbym, że jeszcze młody i przepełniony ideami, ale coś za dużo się chyba naoglądał jakichś wystąpień dyktatorów, żeby zaufać iż rzeczywiście w to wierzy. Nie kupuję.
