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?

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

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.

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

My 2020 Vision for India is to transform it into a developed nation. That cannot be abstract; it is a lifeline.

If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher.
