Respected President and my dear friends, I am keenly sensible to the great honour for our country.
The slogan ‘Be Indian, Buy Indian’ reflects the feelings of nationality. As we are born and brought up in India, we should cherish this feeling in our hearts. Most of the people, though born and brought up in India, don’t exhibit this trait in their conduct and character which is a very shameful mindset. It is the first and foremost duty of an Indian to have this feeling. It shows our belongingness to our country. There is a general craze among well off Indians to buy foreign goods which is an aping habit. They should buy things made and produced in India. You will be surprised to know that Indian products are the most reliable in the world. There are so many companies in the world that get their products manufactured in India and then take it to their own country. By purchasing Indian products, we are indirectly supporting the economy of our country. With thanks, I want to say that every true Indian should try to prove the worth of the slogan “Be Indian, Buy Indian’.
