Citizenship consists in the service of the country.

Long years ago, we made a tryst with destiny and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge... At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom.

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