What is life?
a question-mark?
the puzzle is the mark!
remove it,
and you can shape life to your will!
if you think the question-mark is a sickle,
it will cut and slice you!
it does not have even the strength of a plastic letter,
you can bend it, break it,
powder it with a stone!
remove the mark!
and the gateway to life is open!
and you have a royal road to glory!
A University stands for humanism, for tolerance, for reason, for progress, for the adventure of ideas and for the search for truth. It stands for the onward march of the human race towards even higher objectives. But if the temple of learning itself becomes a home of narrow bigotry and petty objectives, how then will the nation prosper or a people grow in statute.
Speech, Allahabad, 13 December 1947
