| My heartfelt wishes to all Indians for the 72nd Independence Day. To be an Indian is much more than about place we call home. It’s a deeply felt commitment to the higher principles of liberty, equality and fraternity and to the duties entrusted on us as citizens. Fundamental duties enshrined in the constitution require us to develop scientific temper and to strive for excellence in all sphere of individual and collective activity. |
