It is in the spirit of service that India today enters the comity of nations as a free and self-reliant entity. She does so not as a nation, weak and embittered by a prolonged struggle for freedom, but as a nation resurgent... She realises that not only herself but along with her the whole of Asia has risen; large parts of which are liberated already, others are in the process of liberation. India will utilise her freedom not merely for her own material interest, much less for domination over others, but to lead and help Asia, nay, the whole world. She remembers only too well that, for this, she has to repair her own economy, her own damaged freedom. But with her present leaders still in trim, she feels confident that with a little more effort she can achieve her purpose. The Partition of the country must go, tension must disappear... The need also for citizens to identify self with the State being important, every Indian must live for India, just as India must live for all. To adapt great words to a great occasion, India expects every man to do his duty.
