Write the summary of Bharat is My Home.
Ans. 'Bharat is My Home' is an extract from the speech Zakir Hussain gave in 1967 after taking the oath as President. In this speech he pledges to be loyal to nation and work for its welfare.
Initially, he expresses his gratefulness to the people for the faith they had
placed in him to elect him the head of nation. He further acknowledges Dr.
Radha Krishnan for having brought to Indian Presidency, rare jewel of knowledge,
learning and wide experience. He says that Radhakrishnan trusted essential
humanity in man and has always promoted the right of people to live with
dignity, with justice.
He then assures us that he has come to this office in a spirit of humbleness
and devotion. He takes oath to abide by the constitution and he pledges himself
to the service of the timeless, independent values which people have realised
through the cultural elements. According to him past is not still and dead, it is
active and it gives place to the determination of quality at present and expectations
of future. The continuous freshening of this process is related to cultural and
moral growth of nation. He pledges himself to the loyalty of our past culture; to
the service of the oneness of the nation's culture, to the loyalty of country. He
pledges himself to work for strength, progress and welfare of nation with
discrimination on any basis. He states that Bharat is his home and its citizens are
his family members and he would try his best to make this home better for the
people who are doing the work of making life graceful, prosperous and peaceful
He requests the people to contribute in the development of country and to do
their work sincerely to reconstruct cultural life of our people. He says that the
work has two major aspects; work on one's self and work for society. They both
are mutually related. If we start working at individual levelthen only the progress
of society is possible and just like that, without a society, an individual progress
will be meaningless. He says that the dual effort at individual and society level
will do a special favour to India and it will be organization of power, it will be
organization of morality about with Gandhi shared his views.
At last Dr. Jakir Hussain says that he has faith in his people that they would
give a satisfactory result of the dual task and he would be proud to contribute
to it.
