We have not invaded anyone. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them.

Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? Is it a legacy of our colonial years? We want foreign television sets. We want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported?

We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream!

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam Quotes
