We want freedom for our country, but not at the expense or exploitation of others, not us to degrade other countries...I want the freedom of my country so that other countries may learn something from my free country so that the resources of my country might be utilized for the benefit of mankind.

India will have to hang down her head in shame if even one person is left who is said in any way to be untouchable.

The basic idea of governance, as I see it, is to hold the society together so that it can develop and march towards certain goals.

The preservation of freedom, is not the task of soldiers alone. The whole nation has to be strong.

The rule of law should be respected so that the basic structure of our democracy is maintained and further strengthened.

We all have to work in our respective spheres with the same dedication, the same zeal and the same determination which inspired and motivated the warrior on the battle front. And this has to be shown not by mere words, but by actual deeds.

Among the major tasks before us none is of greater importance for our strength and stability than the task of building up the unity and solidarity of our people.
