Words To Swear By: President Kovind addresses nation on eve of Independence Day; remembers Mahatma Gandhi

Mob Violence and Lynchings in the country are rising to an alarming level in the country. In that light, President Ram Nath Kovind gave out a clear message: “Don’t get distracted by contentious issues and extraneous debates.”

President Kovind said India was at the onset of achieving long-term economic goals, electricity, alleviating poverty, etc. He emphasized the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi’s as an ideal mantra for moving forward. The power of ahimsa (Non-Violence) is so much more powerful than the power of Hinsa (Violence).

Hinsa has no place in the society – President Ram Nath Kovind

Hinsa has no place in the society, he said. “The choice is theirs, as a nation and as a society, we must ensure that they have the right and the ability to exercise that choice,” he added.

The President said that every Indian, be it anyone – if he is doing his job with sincerity, he is upholding the principles of the freedom struggle. He could be anyone, starting from a farmer to the police, civilian

He also tagged women as “sheet anchors of families or critical entrants to institutions of higher learning and workforce.”

President Kovind said Independence day 2018 is special. Why?

Prez Kovind praises the passion of young India

“I am gratified by the idealism and the passion of our young people. There is a spirit to achieve something for oneself, for one’s family, for the wider society, and for our country. This is the most moral education we can wish for.”

Key Takeaway from President Ram Nath Kovind’s Independence Day Speech

“The outcome of education is not merely a degree or a diploma, but the commitment to help improve the life of another in a way that is sustainable. This is empathy and fraternity in action. That’s the Indian spirit. This is India because India belongs to the people of India – not just to the Government,” he said.
