What I'm not confused about is the world needing much more love, no hate, no prejudice, no bigotry and more unity, peace and understanding. Period.

Success of humanity lies in our collective strengths, not in the battlefield. For global peace and development, reforms are necessary in global organisations. Reform is the key to relevance. Permanent G20 membership to African Union at the New Delhi Summit was an important step towards this.

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

We can gain no lasting peace if we approach it with suspicion and mistrust or with fear. We can gain it only if we proceed with the understanding, the confidence, and the courage which flow from conviction.

I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can... But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.

A nation's hope of lasting peace cannot be firmly based upon any race in armaments but rather upon just relations and honest understanding with all other nations.
