If you are talking about the human potential of 15 crore individuals, I agree you cannot ignore them, and have can definitely include the 15 crore in the development of the Nation. What we can do without is the idealogy of the 15 Crore which is detrimental to the progress of the nation. The idealogy which turns a sizeable amount of the 15 crore into fifth-column, and is a threat to the internal security. This idealogy is something we can definitely live without. I do not see how this idealogy can bring progress to, or enrich the time tested methodologies of the Bharat.

If at all there is any lack of progress in this land called Bharath; if at all there was a degradation in Her citizens' pride in themselves; if at all there was an urtter deprivation of knowledge, it was precisely owing to this stone-age idealogy that saw progress in destruction of knowledge and reason. Thus we can progress in leaps and bounds once we retain the 15 crore devoid of this idealogy.

Hope we agree...
