This Day That Age
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, speaking at a banquet on the18th evening in Rashtrapathi Bhavan in honour of visiting Ceylon Prime Minister, Sir John Kotelawala, said Ceylon and India had strong ancient bonds, and hundreds of new ones, which united them — in the origin of languages and cultures, in religion, and in economic and other issues. In the world as it was developing, nothing was more important than to understand, appreciate, and try to live up to the message of Buddha that Emperor Asoka had sent to various countries, including Ceylon, more than 2,000 years earlier. "Perhaps", he added, "in the future, our bonds are likely to grow, rather than lessen, because we live in a period when all countries of Asia are going through a new awakening, and regaining something of that ancient inner spirit."
