The fundamental strength of Bharat is that we are a land of seekers - seekers of truth and liberation.

If we want the country to move forward, the focus of leadership has to shift from personal ambition to a larger vision.

Let us all strive to lift our Beloved Republic beyond distinctions of caste, creed, race, or religion. Let us create a Bharat all of us will be proud of. Bharat should be in our breath.

This is the best time for us to look at our policies, our actions, and our commitment to what we want to make out of this nation. The Nation is the people and the soil. Let us make it Happen.

India has been a Republic for seventy-one years but a Cultural Nation for thousands of years. It is in the hands of the young people of this country to once again make this Culture so vibrant that it enriches the life of everyone on the planet.
