“You want me to talk to you in English. I shall obey your command; but take it from me that it will not be long before you yourselves will have to speak in our national language.”
“Free India is only a child of a year and a half.”
“History will record what we are doing today.”
“The first requisite for building a strong, free India is unity and peace.”
“You cannot expect the Government continuously to maintain peace by force.”
“We lost our leader because we forgot the very first lesson.”
“If we do not realise even after his going that in unity lies our strength, then greater misfortune will befall us.”
“For unity, we must forget differences of caste and creed and remember that we are all Indians, and all equal.”
“All must have equal opportunities, equal rights and equal responsibilities.”
“I am convinced and I remain convinced that our having agreed to partition has been for the good of the country.”
