“We have to build the noble mansion of free India, where all her children may dwell. On this day, our first thoughts go to the Architect of this freedom - the father of freedom Mahatma Gandhij, who embodying the old spirit of India, held aloft the Torch of Freedom and light up the darkness that surround us. We shall never allow that torch of freedom to be blown out, however high the wind or stormy the tempest and to India, our much loved motherland, the ancient and eternal and ever new, we pay our reverent homage and we find ourselves afresh to her services”.
