Many people are undermining the reputation of Bharat by their actions. This amounts to treason to the nation. One who is not proud of his motherland and its reputation is worse than a corpse. All must protect the honour of the nation. They should be united. This is the message of the Vedas, “Let us all live and strive together in harmony.” If only this spirit prevails among Bharatiyas, the nation will shine in all its glory. It is because people have forgotten the greatness of Bharat that our country is suffering from many troubles and difficulties. If people act together in concert, there is nothing they cannot achieve in Bharat. Determination and unity are essential. Bharatiyas should give no room for differences of caste, religion, or language. They should recognise the unity of the human family. Remember: “Caste of Humanity, Religion of Love, Language of the Heart.” If you base your actions on these three concepts, the country can make any amount of progress. Cherish these ideals in your hearts and discharge your duties.
