Quotation

The whole world is becoming one country through scientific facility.
And the moment is arising when you also must find a basis of unity
which is not political. If India can offer to the world her solution,
it will be a contribution to humanity. There is only one history -
the history of man. All national histories are chapters in the larger
one. - Nationalism, (v.2/453)
