...that great lover of peace, a man of giant stature who moulded, as few other men have done, the destinies of his age.

Peace is not merely an absence of war. It is also a state of mind.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
Science and technology have freed humanity from many burdens and given us this new perspective and great power. This power can be used for the good of all. If wisdom governs our actions but if the world is mad or foolish, it can destroy itself just when great advances and triumphs are almost without its grasp.

Remember always that there not so very much difference between various people as we seem to imagine. Maps and atlases show us countries in different colors. Undoubtedly people do differ from one another, but they resemble each other also a great deal, and it is well to keep this in mind and not misled by colors on the map or by national boundaries.

Wars are fought to gain a certain objective. War itself is not the objective victory is not the objective you fight to remove the obstruction that comes in the way of your objective. If you let victory become the end in itself then you've gone astray and forgotten what you were originally fighting about.

It is dangerous and harmful to be guided in our life's course by hatreds and aversions, for they are wasteful of energy and limit and twist the mind and prevent it from perceiving the truth.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Image
Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
Jawaharlal Nehru

The purely agitational attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.

Those who are prepared to die for any cause are seldom defeated.

India cannot sit on the fence anymore. It may have to make a choice. Either way it is going face problems.

The Ganga, especially, is the river of India, beloved of her people, round which are intertwined her memories, her hopes and fears, her songs of triumph, her victories and her defeats. She has been a symbol of India's age-long culture and civilization, ever changing, ever flowing, and yet ever the same Ganga.
