Famous quotes from the former PM of India below: Sh. Lal Bahadur Shastri

'Jai Jawaan Jai Kisaan'

We believe in peace and peaceful development, not only for ourselves but for people all over the world.

We must fight for peace bravely as we fought in war.

There comes a time in the life of every nation when it stands at the crossroads of history and must choose which way to go.

Discipline and united action are the real source of strength for the nation.

India will have to hang down her head in shame if even one person is left who is said in any way to be untouchable.
