Let us come together and think of ways India does not have to import but we export to the world.

We dream of a day when India is completely self-reliant in defence production & exports defence equipment worldwide.

When people have a sense of our military capability, nobody will ever dare to cast an evil eye on our nation.

Keeping technology at the forefront, we need to further speed up our defence programme & keep pace with the world.

Earlier we used to play with snakes, but now we play with mouse. Through IT, India's youth has surprised the entire World!

India is once again ready to play the role of 'Vishvaguru' and work towards the benefit of mankind.

I salute the poor of our country who have deposited more than Rs 20,000 crore in Jan Dhan Bank Accounts.

The life of Gautama Buddha illustrates the power of service, compassion and, most importantly, renunciation. He was convinced that material wealth is not the sole goal.

Hindu philosophy was one of the greatest beneficiaries of the advent and the teachings of the Lord Buddha. I revere Buddha as a reformer of not only Hinduism but also the world, who has given all of us a new world view and vision which is critical for the survival of all of us and the entire world.
