Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?

India can live without nuclear weapons. That's our dream, and it should be the dream of the U.S. also.

India has to be transformed into a developed nation, a prosperous nation and a healthy nation, with a value system.

If parents and teachers show the required dedication to shape the lives of the young, India would get a new life.

We will be remembered only if we give to our younger generation a prosperous and safe India, resulting out of economic prosperity coupled with civilizational heritage.

Unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. In this world, fear has no place. Only strength respects strength.
