India is a young nation but ancient civilization, this formidable combination needs to be sustained, it is a civilizational country. We attained the independence at the cost of innumerable lives, their aims and objectives can not let to be diluted

Let us pledge that we would not compromise with the 4 pillars of our constitution ― Justice, Liberty, Equality and Fraternity for all.

We all should bear in mind that our great country India which is an unending celebration of diversities, never hesitate to imbibe noble ideas originated in distant land and continue the practice of Eclecticism.
