National History

A nation that has no history of its own has nothing in this world. 
Do you believe that one who has such faith and pride as to feel, "I come of noble descent", can ever turn out to be bad?
How could that be? 
That faith in himself would curb his actions and feelings, so much so that he would rather die than commit wrong. 

So a national history keeps a nation well-restrained and does not allow it to sink so low.

                   Conversations and Dialogues, 
                     recorded by Priya Nath Sinha
