Dr Pranab Mukherjee at RSS's Tritiya Varsh event in Nagpur:

- Our national identity has emerged after a long drawn process of confluence and assimilation, the multiple cultures and faiths make us special and tolerant.

- Any attempt at defining our nationhood in terms of dogma and identities or religion, region, hatred and intolerance will only lead to dilution of our identity.

-- Soul of India resides in pluralism of identities. Secularism and inclusion are a matter of faith for us. -- ANI
