I want Free India to pursue four values in all its domains—justice, responsiveness, transparency and facilitativeness.
Without justice any social order will collapse sooner or later. And justice is absolutely essential for democracy to endure. Absence of justice will lead to authoritarianism. . 
By responsiveness I mean a willing and open mind to examine complaints of injustice and a readiness to acknowledge as and when there had been an inadvertent perpetration of injustice, and to redress genuine grievances. But a society can be broadly just without being responsive. The British colonial rule, as I see it, was just but not very responsive to the aspirations of the people.
By transparency I mean visibility of its critical decision-making processes to one and all, particularly to those who will be affected by the processes. A society cannot become transparent unless it has imbibed the values of justice and responsiveness.
Facilitativeness is the provision of the necessary resources, structures and processes for every individual to translate all his or her talent potentials into productive capabilities 
These values, as I perceive them, are universally and eternally relevant. They provide a touchstone for evaluating the progress of any and every society. The challenge of every generation is to preserve and extend these values.
