Any country cannot progress without the strong friendship and good relations with other nations. India has to always bear in mind the gesture of other countries that stretched a hand of friendship and strength when the nation was freed from British rule. If they hadn’t helped India, the country wouldn’t see such good growth today. Similarly, India has also helped other nations during times of their distress. Such exchanges of help and support are not a sign of weakness or inferiority. If the laws of the land do not permit us to accept the form of help, as a nation we need to express gratitude for the gesture by our friend-nation. It is our duty.
