‘A nation is neither given as a gift nor got as a present, nor bought with gold or silver, nor offered by a treaty nor achieved by an agreement. It is the creation of the people, the people who identify themselves with the soil where they work, where they toil, where they suffer shading their sweat, shading their blood, shading their tears not for a day or two but from generations upto generations, that is how a nation is born.’
–Ben Gurien
