Respected teachers and my dear friends, I am Kusum Joshi of standard XI - A and I am going to speak on the topic ‘Humanity above all Nations’.
God is the potter, the earth is his wheel and all human beings are the pots he has made, We are made out of the same clay but we speak different languages, follow different religions, have different colour of skin and live in different regions. All people are allied by birth. We breathe the same air and enjoy the same sunshine. We have the same type of bodies and do almost the same kind of work. Many are not ready to accept this fact. The world has seen two horrible World Wars. Nations have attacked one another and have brought about destruction to life and property. Scientific inventions have brought in deadly weapons which have brought humanity to drifting dust. Inspite of all these, whenever there have been disasters both natural and man-made, people have come to help one another. Nature considers everyone as equal and gives us the right to enjoy her benefits. It is we humans who have created divisions. We need to amend this attitude. We need to rise above petty issues and honour and respect everyone around us if we want to command that same respect. Humanity is what is important than all materialistic things in this world.
