Question

please huryyy Read the excerpt from Jawaharlal Nehru’s speech "A Tryst with Destiny.” On this day our first thoughts go to the architect of this freedom, the father of our nation, who, embodying the old spirit of India, held aloft the torch of freedom and lighted up the darkness that surrounded us. We have often been unworthy followers of his and have strayed from his message, but not only we but succeeding generations will remember this message and bear the imprint in their hearts of this great son of India, magnificent in his faith and strength and courage and humility. We shall never allow that torch of freedom to be blown out, however high the wind or stormy the tempest. Our next thoughts must be of the unknown volunteers and soldiers of freedom who, without praise or reward, have served India even unto death. We think also of our brothers and sisters who have been cut off from us by political boundaries and who unhappily cannot share at present in the freedom that has come. They are of us and will remain of us whatever may happen, and we shall be sharers in their good and ill fortune alike. What type of evidence does Nehru include to support the claim? empirical evidence, with data about the number of Indian soldiers who lost their lives empirical evidence, with information about the people who followed the father of the nation anecdotal evidence, with stories of India’s past efforts toward freedom and its sacrifices anecdotal evidence, with reasons to pursue freedom rather than remain under the empire’s rule
