I have a vision of India: an India free of hunger and fear, an India free of illiteracy and want.

Let no one challenge India's secularism.

If India is not secular, then India is not India at all.

We have ended hunger, but now we have to end famine.

Our aim should be to make India a global R&D hub.

I dream of an India that is prosperous, strong and caring. An India, that regains a place of honour in the comity of great nations.
