VISITOR’S BOOK ENTRY MADE BY THE PRESIDENT IN THE GOLDEN BOOK AT THE MONUMENT OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER

Rashtrapati Bhavan : 01.06.2013

I pay my respects at the Unknown Soldier's monument which commemorates the sacrifices of soldiers who fought in World War I. Amongst them, were Indian soldiers who fought valiantly on the battlefields of Europe during this war to whom I also pay homage. As I stand here, I am constantly reminded how the devastating consequences of war exemplify the universal and eternal relevance of Mahatma Gandhi's message for peace "There is no way to peace, peace is the way".
