Translation:Students, you must have surely heard of Bal Gangadhar. As he grew older, the plight of his motherland caused him great sorrow. In those days, India lay under the bondage of British rule. He firmly vowed to win freedom for his country, and to achieve this, he travelled throughout India, conversing with people from every walk of life.
