What is history, indeed, but a record of change?

Act with courage and dignity; stick to the ideals that give meaning to life.

The basic fact of today is the tremendous pace of change in human life.

At the dawn of history India started on her unending quest, and trackless centuries are filled with her striving and the grandeur of her success and her failures. Through good and ill fortune alike she has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength.
