If 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.

We have to surmount the difficulties that face us and work steadfastly for the happiness and prosperity of our country.

The unique thing about our country is that we have Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Parsis, and people of all other religions. We have temples and mosques, gurdwaras and churches. But we do not bring all this into politics... This is the difference between India and Pakistan.

Non-alignment will continue to be the fundamental basis of our approach to world problems and our relations with other countries.

India will have to hang down her head in shame if even one person is left who is said in any way to be untouchable.

We can win respect in the world only if we are strong internally and can banish poverty and unemployment from our country.
