In his famous speech on India’s “tryst with destiny,” Nehru promised Indians that his government would seek to “bring freedom and opportunity to the common man, to the peasants and workers of India; to fight and end poverty and ignorance and disease;… to ensure justice and fullness of life to every man and woman.” For 63 years, the vast majority of India’s people have waited for this promise to be fulfilled.
在他一次名为“和命运有约”著名的演讲中，尼赫鲁承诺他领导的政府将寻求“给普通人带来自由和机会，为印度的工农大众消除贫困，愚昧和疾病的困扰。。给每一位公民都带来正义和完美的生活。”时间已经过去了63年，绝大多数的印度人还在等待这个美好承诺的实现。
