My message to you all is of hope, courage and confidence. Let us mobilize all our resources in a systematic and organized way and tackle the grave issues that confront us with grim determination and discipline worthy of a great nation.

We have a great country, we are a great nation - let us trust in it.

No nation can ever be worthy of its existence that cannot take its women along with the men. No struggle can ever succeed without women participating side by side with men. There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women.

No nation can rise to the height of glory unless your women are side by side with you.

All of us are so mixed. My great-grandfather was white.

We maintain and hold that Muslims and Hindus are two major nations by any definition or test of a nation.
