Pandit Nehru, the country’s first Prime Minister, rightly invoked the image of the country’s tryst with destiny when independence was granted, but a much bigger expectation now lies in attaining economic freedom from the problems that have afflicted Indian society and particularly the poor for so long.

Or think again of Nehru’s speech on the midnight of August 14-15: “Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny…” Nehru spoke for India that morning, but one would like to think that he was much too sensitive not to have noted the contradictions embedded in the choice of that pronoun, “we”.

Recovering from the trauma of Partition and fuelled by a strong collective sense of destiny, it sets itself a clear agenda for development, aiming to improve the lot of every citizen and to become an influential voice in the world.
