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.

I will continue to strive and struggle to apply what I think are conservative principles to the modern problems that we have so that not only in our legislative and governmental processes, but so far as I can help bring it about in our thinking processes, we will come to see the benefit of what I call the middle-of-the-road Government.

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.

People want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.
