How can we continue to be member of the British Commonwealth of Nations? How do we settle in England, the nation that has despoiled and desecrated our motherland for two centuries and reduced us from being the richest nation on earth to one of the poorest? How do our children, the brightest among them, so easily take to their foreign flight to pursue higher education and then never ever think of returning to serve the motherland? Why must this imitation of everything western eat into our urban culture and make our own city-bred people hollow? My countrymen, this should not be. No nation devoid of self-respect can rise and neither shall we this way. Forget not Swamiji's 'Swadeshmantra', his sublime formulation for future India. Read it now and determine how far you are from fulfilling his terms. Then, if you are conscientious enough, reform your ways and serve the motherland. We ought not anymore to remain cultural hybrids but must forthwith strike deep national roots to become men and women of substance. May our motherland prosper, not at the expense of other nations but in the collective bid of humanity to rise to self-sustenance! Bande Mataram!
