  • We believe in peace and peaceful development, not only for ourselves but for people all over the world.
  • 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 believe in peace in the settlement of all disputes through peaceful means, in the abolition of war, and, more particularly, nuclear war.
  • The basic idea of governance, as I see it, is to hold the society together so that it can develop and march towards certain goals.
  • We must fight for peace bravely as we fought in war.
  • We can win respect in the world only if we are strong internally and can banish poverty and unemployment from our country.
  • Our country has often stood like a solid rock in the face of common danger, and there is a deep underlying unity which runs like a golden thread through all our seeming diversity.
  • Our way is straight and clear - the building up of a socialist democracy at home, with freedom and prosperity for all, and the maintenance of world peace and friendship with all nations abroad.
