quotes for essays

A quote from Rajiv Gandhi while addressing the joint session of the US congress and India is appropriate here:

“I am young, and I too have a dream. I dream of an India - strong, independent, self-reliant and in the front-rank of the nations of the world in the service of mankind...”

            Rajiv Gandhi introduced India to modern science and technology, which he considered as the very essence of development.  He said, ‘Freedom and racism cannot co-exist. Science and poverty cannot co-exist.’
