A tradition I remember from my childhood was that when there was a wedding in any one family, the entire village shared the responsibility and contributed. Regardless of the caste or community, the bride became the daughter of not just a single family but of the entire village.

Each of us must find a way to give back to society. Each of us must choose one thing we can do to help another, less-fortunate Indian.

That is how our nation has been built - by a partnership between citizen and government, between individual and society, between a family and the wider community.
