Message

"It was a time of celebration and the country's leaders were gathered in Delhi, addressing themselves to the momentous tasks that faced the govt.At this moment,however,far from being at the centre of power,the father of nation,Mahatma Gandhi,was away in Noakhali caring for the riot victims and trying to heal the wounds inflicted by communal rioting.How many persons would have such courage of conviction as did Gandhiji at a time when the nation was at his command? It is that kind of deep and unshakable commitment to the well being of all Indians that underlies the vision of a developed India." - by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam (in his book India 2020)
