A Quote by Jamsetji Tata
Freedom without the strength to support it and, if need be, defend it, would be a cruel delusion. And the strength to defend freedom can itself only come from widespread industrialisation and the infusion of modern science and technology into the country's economic life.

Freedom is not simply the circumstances that allow you to do whatever you want. Freedom is not only the opportunity to choose. Freedom is the strength of character to choose and to do what is right.

And to all nations, we will speak for the values that gave our nation birth... an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.
