This country with its institutions is a proud heritage of the people who inhabit it. it is an accident that some live in the states and some in the British India, but all alike partake of it’s culture and character. We are knit together by bonds of blood and feelings no less than of self interest. None can segregate us into segments no impassible barriers can be set up between us.
