Since the advent of nuclear weapons, it seems clear that there is no longer any alternative to peace, if there is to be a happy and well world.

For 2,500 years, India has never invaded anybody.

Be it the First World War or the Second World War, India never attacked other countries. We never attacked any country for conquering their territory. But our brave soldiers fought for others and sacrificed their lives in both the Wars. And, the world must recognise this.

The only enemy is ignorance. Peace, people. Let's get rid of all this nuclear testing.

The United States strongly seeks a lasting agreement for the discontinuance of nuclear weapons tests. We believe that this would be an important step toward reduction of international tensions and would open the way to further agreement on substantial measures of disarmament.

India has always wanted friendly ties with its neighbours, there can be no debate around it. We want to live in harmony and peace.
