Forget not that the lower classes

Forget not that the lower classes, the ignorant, the poor, the illiterate, the cobbler, the sweeper, are thy flesh and blood, thy brothers. Thou brave one, be bold, take courage, be proud that thou art an Indian, and proudly proclaim–‘I am an Indian–every Indian is my brother’. Say, ‘The ignorant Indian, the poor and destitute Indian, the Brahmin Indian, the pariah Indian, is my brother.’ …Say–brother : ‘The soil of India is my highest heaven, the good of India is my good and repeat and pray day and night,…O Thou Mother of Strength, take away my weakness, take away my unmanliness, and make me a man !
– Swami Vivekananda.
