More quotes by Pranab Mukherjee
Propelled by freedom of faith, gender equality and economic justice for all, India will become a modern nation. Minor blemishes cannot cloak the fact that India is becoming such a modern nation: no faith is in danger in our country, and the continuing commitment to gender equality is one of the great narratives of our times.
Pranab Mukherjee
I come from a political family. My father was a freedom fighter. He was a prominent leader of the locality and member of the Congress party. He spent 10 years in British prisons. In the evening, in our living room, the only subject we used to discuss was politics. So politics was not unfamiliar to me.

Pranab Mukherjee
I have seen vast, perhaps unbelievable, changes during the journey that has brought me from the flicker of a lamp in a small Bengal village to the chandeliers of Delhi.
Pranab Mukherjee
Of course, running a coalition government in a country like India is a difficult task. More so when Congress leads the coalition, since most of the political parties were anti-Congress. To have a coalition, to run a coalition government, you require a lot of adjustments, a lot of flexibility.
Pranab Mukherjee
I am comfortable at the height where destiny has put me.
Pranab Mukherjee
As Indians, we must of course learn from the past but we must remain focused on the future. In my view, education is the true alchemy that can bring India its next golden age.
Pranab Mukherjee
Indian president does not determine policy. Here President is not the policy maker. In the name of the president, the cabinet takes the policy decision.
Pranab Mukherjee
I personally believe that the office of the President of India is not to be sought. It is to be offered.
Pranab Mukherjee
In our generation, the role models were Gandhi and Nehru. We revered them. They were venerated personalities. I read almost every speech of Nehru.
Pranab Mukherjee
If the rise of European colonisation began in 18th century India, then the rallying cry of 'Jai Hind!' also signalled its end in 1947.

As Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, had said in Shakespeare's immortal words, 'I must be cruel only to be kind.
