Transcription: Raj Ghat: Gandhi where Mahatma Gandhi was cremated in 1948.
I claim to be a man of faith and prayer, and even if I were cut to pieces, I trust God would give me the strength not to deny Him and to assert that He is.
MY RELIGION HAS NO GEOGRAPHICAL LIMITS. IF I HAVE A LIVING FAITH IN IT, IT WILL TRANSCEND MY LOVE FOR INDIA HERSELF.
