If we dispense with some of our self-made boundaries, India can really take its place in the world as an economic power.It hasn't happened because we, sadly, don't look at ourselves as Indians but as Punjabis or Parsis, unlike the Americans. Don't make such boundaries.

A society that does not give importance to education cannot progress. Let there be any Government, it must have a vision to make India shine in the field of education.

A primary object should be the education of our youth in the science of government. In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important? And what duty more pressing than communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country?

No group and no government can properly prescribe precisely what should constitute the body of knowledge with which true education is concerned.

If you look at the people who have high impact, they have pretty general knowledge. They don't have a really narrowly focused education.

I have always been bullish about India's potential. I still am, and I feel India is a country that really has an enormous amount of potential and has the human capital to succeed.
