||~Happy Independence Day ~||

No one would die of starvation in independent India... Its military expenditure would not be heavy. Its army would not subjugate its own people or other lands. Its best-paid officials would not earn a great deal more than its lowest-paid servants. And finding justice in it would be neither costly nor difficult. -

Sardar Vallabhai Patel.

So long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you. -

BR Ambedkar.

What the country needs most at the present moment is a spirit of self-sacrifice on the part of our educated young men, and they may take it from me that they cannot spend their lives in a better cause than raising the moral and intellectual level of their unhappy low castes and promoting their well-being. -

Gopal Krishna Gokhale.

Progress is implied in independence. Without self-government neither industrial progress is possible, nor the educational scheme will be useful to the nation...
