We believe in peace and peaceful development, not only for ourselves but for people all over the world.
Lal Bahadur ShastriIf Pakistan has any ideas of annexing any part of our territories by force, she should think afresh. I want to state categorically that force will be met with force and aggression against us will never be allowed to succeed.
Lal Bahadur ShastriThere comes a time in the life of every nation when it stands at the cross-roads of history and must choose which way to go. But for us there need be no difficulty or hesitation, no looking to right or left. Our way is straight and clearโthe building up of a socialist democracy at home with freedom and prosperity for all, and the maintenance of world peace and friendship with all nations.
Lal Bahadur ShastriTrue democracy or the swaraj of the masses can never come through untruthful and violent means.
