Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God's children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

We must work together to ensure the equitable distribution of wealth, opportunity and power in our society.

Our constitution is a ray of hope: H for harmony, O for Opportunity, P for people's participation and E for equality.

I dream of a young India that is not constrained by any limitations whatsoever. I want the youth of this country to lead a life filled with hope and opportunity.
