"We desire a Swarajya where hundreds of people do not perish due to lack of sustenance. The produce of farmers should not be taken away from them and sent abroad. The people should not rely on others for clothing. Swarajya should inherently protect the dignity of individuals. Swadeshi should be the natural duty of the people. Work should be conducted in the native language. The medium of instruction should be the native language. The freedom of the people should be safeguarded without discrimination. Culture and values should always hold a significant position in life. Prices of essential goods should be regulated. Justice should be accessible to every citizen in Swarajya. Justice should not come at an exorbitant cost. The disparity in salaries between officers and employees should not be excessively high. The people should be committed to making the nation self-reliant, strong, and secure in all aspects, while earning international respect." - Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel
The statement by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel pertained to the future of the country as it stood on the verge of independence from colonial rule. His statement portrayed a clear vision of an independent India in his imagination. It envisioned self-reliance among all countrymen, emphasizing indigenization and the preservation of national values and culture in all forms. It aimed to build the nation using the country's resources and the hard work of its people, while acknowledging the dignity of labor. Swarajya symbolized the guarantee of equality, liberty, justice, and rights for all citizens, regardless of their status. It also aimed for India to attain a respectable position on the global stage. In summary, the goal was to build a self-reliant, developed, and strong India in every aspect.
