Jawaharlal Nehru's address to the Constituent Assembly at the moment of India's independence is famously known as Tryst with Destiny. It marked the transfer of power and framed independence as a solemn national pledge. Tried with Destiny is only a wrong wording and was not the title. Tryst with Honesty replaces the key idea with an unrelated virtue. Tryst and Co-operation also distorts the accepted phrase and does not refer to Nehru's midnight speech of 14-15 August 1947.

Jawaharlal Nehru's midnight address to the Constituent Assembly on 14-15 August 1947 is remembered as "Tryst with Destiny".
