My vision of free India is an India which is free from many of the negative factors which are holding India in bondage today. I would like to see a corruption free India. Corruption is anti-economic development, anti-national and anti-poor. Our India is very low in productivity. We are not making optimum use of the human capital we have because of high illiteracy. We should have a fully literate population. We should also focus on our poor productivity and see how in every area we can improve productivity. With this, India can become a really free and prosperous country and a leader of the world. With our rich traditions, going back to thousands of years it is our values which are important. India must be able to rediscover its roots and must start practising the values which have stood India in good stead all these generations.
