This Day That Age
The President, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, has assured the visiting Pakistan Governor-General, Mr. Ghulam Mohammed, that the Government of India were anxious to do everything in their power to solve the problems between the two countries "in fruitful cooperation with yours." The President, who was speaking at a banquet given in honour of Mr. Ghulam Mohammed at the Rashtrapati Bhavan on January 25, said: "I am very happy to welcome the distinguished head of our neighbouring country. You, Sir, are no stranger to India's capital city. Five years ago on January 26 India became a Republic. This was the day of which many of us dreamt and for which numerous people made heavy sacrifices. January 26 is, therefore, a day of special significance to us in India. It is an occasion on which millions demonstrate their unity despite the diversity in their language, religion and culture. It is not only an occasion of joy; it is inspiration for the future. We are, however, all the time conscious that freedom would be without any meaning if it did not result in the happiness and well-being of millions who have for ages been denied the minimum of food and clothing. To this task, India's leaders have pledged themselves." The Governor-General in his reply said, "Let us put an end to our disputes. We owe this as a duty to posterity not to leave them a legacy of misunderstanding and bitterness. There is no alternative to the two countries acting in a spirit of truth and sincerity without which it seems difficult for them to achieve real prosperity."
