Zitat des Tages von Lal Bahadur Shastri:
Non-alignment will continue to be the fundamental basis of our approach to world problems and our relations with other countries.
We believe in peace and peaceful development, not only for ourselves but for people all over the world.
I had always been feeling uncomfortable in my mind about giving advice to others and not acting upon it myself.
We can win respect in the world only if we are strong internally and can banish poverty and unemployment from our country.
If Pakistan has any ideas of annexing any part of our territories by force, she should think afresh. I want to state categorically that force will be met with force and aggression against us will never be allowed to succeed.
It is most regrettable that nuclear energy is being harnessed for making nuclear weapons.
Our country has often stood like a solid rock in the face of common danger, and there is a deep underlying unity which runs like a golden thread through all our seeming diversity.
We have to surmount the difficulties that face us and work steadfastly for the happiness and prosperity of our country.
We believe in peace in the settlement of all disputes through peaceful means, in the abolition of war, and, more particularly, nuclear war.
I am not as simple as I look.
No doubt we have to have bigger projects, bigger industries, basic industries, but it is a matter of the highest importance that we look to the common man, the weakest element in the society.
