My 2020 Vision for India is to transform it into a developed nation. That cannot be abstract; it is a lifeline.

Tell me, why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognise our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?

India has to be transformed into a developed nation, a prosperous nation and a healthy nation, with a value system.

As man advances in civilization, and small tribes are united into larger communities, the simplest reason would tell each individual that he ought to extend his social instincts and sympathies to all members of the same nation, though personally unknown to him. This point being once reached, there is only an artificial barrier to prevent his sympathies extending to the men of all nations and races.

Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization.

If God had so wished, he would have made all Indians speak with one language ... the unity of India has been and shall always be a unity in diversity.
