From the Presidential Address - Deshbandhu C. R. Das

:: Indian national congress - Past Presidents ::: "What is freedom? It is impossible to define the term; but one may describe it as that state, that condition, which makes it possible for a nation to realize its own individuality and to evolve its own destiny. The history of mankind is full of stirring stories as to how nations have struck for freedom in order to keep their nationalism and their individuality inviolate and untarnished."

I.N.C. Session, 1922, Gaya.
