 I don't understand why people feel that hatred makes a country strong. I don't understand why people feel that being abusive, being nasty, being cruel makes a country strong. I think it makes a country weak. That's not what India is. I asked Nelson Mandela after he came out of jail 26 years. Mr. Mandela, you were in jail for so long. What gave you hope? Did India's freedom struggle give me hope? I said, what do you mean by that? He said, well, what Mahatma Gandhi taught, the fact that you should be compassionate, even to your opponent. You should respect even your opponent. These are Indian values. This is the most powerful thing that we have. Why are we throwing it away? And it is not only I who is thinking this. Millions of people, youngsters, men, women feel the same thing. It's a very powerful thing. They will realize that the principles that we are putting across here are not just political principles. They are principles that you can use in your life. They are principles that you can use with your brother, with your sister, with people you are working with. A little respect will not weaken India. It will only strengthen India. A little bit of affection, a little bit of love will only strengthen India. That's the idea. I felt that my duty in a time when India is internally fractured, in pain, where violence is being spread across the country, where hatred is being spread across the country, to show that there is another way possible. Where you are affectionate and loving to people, where you can disagree with them, where you can say, I actually don't like your views, but I can still go to you and say, I don't like your views, but I'm ready to listen to your views and I'm not going to beat you because I'm more powerful. I'm not going to thrash you because I'm more powerful as an Indian citizen to place that on the tip. And that is the idea of the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
