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 is a geographical term. It is no more a united nation than the Equator.

I dream of a Digital India where high-speed Digital Highways unite the Nation.

When I took over as president, I studied the Constitution, and the more I studied it, the more I realised that it does not prevent the president of India from giving the nation a vision. So when I went and presented this vision in Parliament and in legislative assemblies; everyone welcomed it, irrespective of party affiliations.

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

A youthful nation like ours must leave an impact in the entire world.
