But two things are lacking and I want you to concentrate your attention on these. One thing is that foreign domination from without and Hindu domination here, particularly on our economic life, has caused a certain degeneration in these virtues in us. pakistan Tall order at the DAWN of independence: Nobility, Honor, Dignity, Conviction, Incorruptibility, self-effacement, Collective goodness.
