My dream is to see India as a nation of well-looked-after and respected sportspeople in all fields.

Much of India that we dream of still lies ahead of us: housing, power, water and sanitation for all; bank accounts and insurance for every citizen; connected and prosperous villages; and, smart and sustainable cities.

I have a vision of India: an India free of hunger and fear, an India free of illiteracy and want.

My dream is to live a good life and be loving, be close to God and be a good human being and bring peace to people.

Members of India's diaspora, living in distant lands of the world, my good wishes to all of you. You may be far away from India, but you are always close to our hearts.

More dreams are realised and extinguished in Bombay than any other place in India.

I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself.

India profoundly changed my outlook on life because you see how people can be content and very happy with little or even no possessions. It's the reverse of the West.

India somehow constantly rivets and inspires me, and I feel very relieved to have come from this country which has a very 'lifeist' approach to living fully, no matter what one has or doesn't have.

I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.
