Unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. In this world, fear has no place. Only strength respects strength. |
We are firmly committed to helping Mauritius overcome this temporary phase and India can be a partner and can fully share its experiences, particularly in the areas of sugar and textile with you. |
We have not invaded anyone. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them. |
We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream! |
We need to create brand institutions. In the fortune 500 companies, 5 Indian companies are named while 15 are from China though we have similar kind of populations. |
We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us. |
While condemning this inhuman act, nations have the collective responsibility to device a mechanism to see that such situation do not occur in future for any citizen of India and also any person belonging to any part of the world. |
Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? Is it a legacy of our colonial years? We want foreign television sets. We want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported? |
You have done a wonderful job, |
You have to dream before your dreams can come true. |
