The hunger for peace is too great, the hour in history too late, for any government to mock men's hopes with mere words and promises and gestures.

My philosophy, the philosophy of my party and the philosophy of my government is 'Sabka saath' - Together with all, progress for all...My government will not accept tolerate or accept any discrimination based on caste, creed, and religion.

This truth may be unfashionable, unpalatable, no doubt unpopular, but, if it is the truth, the story of mankind shows that war was universal and unceasing for millions of years before armaments were invented or armies organized. Indeed, the lucid intervals of peace and order only occurred in human history after armaments in the hands of strong governments have come into being, and civilization in every age has been nursed only in cradles guarded by superior weapons and superior discipline.

We must always reiterate this. The greater the foreign dependence, the greater the country's failure. For global peace, stability, and prosperity, the country with the world's largest population must become Self Reliance.

I like to believe that people, in the long run, are going to do more to promote peace than our governments.

In attempting to summarize the philosophy of the Republican Party I, myself, have sometimes used such phrases as moderate progressive and dynamic conservative, because we want to be known for what we are, the party of progress. And if we are the party of progress, we must be the party of peace and prosperity, because this is implicit in the term "progress."
