For some time past the conviction has been forcing itselfon many earnest and thoughtful minds that a stage has been reached in the work of nation-building in India when, for further progress the devoted labours of a specially trained agency applying itselfto the task in a true missionary spirit are required. The work that has been accomplished so far has indeed been ofthe highest value. The growth dwing the last 102 years of a feeling ofcommon nationality based upon common traditions and ties, common hopes and aspirations, and even common disabilities has been most striking. The fact that we are Indians first, and Hindus, Mohammed ans, Parsees or Christains afterwards is being realised in a steadily increasing measure, and the idea of a united and renovated India marching onwards to a place among the nations of the world, worthy ofthe great past, is no longer a mere idle dream ofa few imaginative minds, but is the definitely accepted creed of those who form the brain ofthe community the educated classes ofthe country. A creditable begirming has already been made in matters ofeducation and ofloca1self-government; and all classes ofthe people are slowly but steadily coming under the influence ofliberal ideas. The claims ofpublic life are every day receiving wider recognition, and attachment to the land ofour birth is gorwing into a strong and deeply cherished passion of the heart. The annual meetings of Congresses and conferences, the work ofpublic bodies and associations, the writing in the columns ofthe Indian Press-all bear witness to the new life that is coursing in the veins ofthe people. The results achieved sofar are undoubtedly most gratifYing, but they only mean that the jungle has been cleared and the foundations laid. The great work of rearing the (6) Annual Report 2007-2008 . superstructure has yet to be taken in hand, and the situation demands od the part of workers devotion and sacrifices proportionate to the magni~ tude ofthe task. j The Servants ofIndia Soceity has been established-to meet in some measure these requirements of the situation. Much of the work must be directed towards building up in the country a higher type ofCharacter and capacity than is generally available at present, and the advance can only be slow. Moreover, the path is beset with great difficulties; there will ~ constant temptations to turn back; bitter disappointment will repeatedl~ try the faith ofthose who have put their hand to the work. But the weary toil can have but one end, if only the workers grow not faint-hearted on, the way. One essential condition ofsuccess in this work is that a sufficient) number of your countrymen must now come forward to devote them':: selves to the cause in the sprit in which religious work is undertaken. Public: life must be spiritnalised. Love ofcountry must so fill the heart that all else; shall appear as oflittle moments by its side. A fervent partriotism which;, rejoices at evry opportunity of sacrifice for the motherland, a dauntless; heart which refueses to be turned back from its objects by difficulty or', danger, a deep faith in the purpose ofprovidence which nothing can shakej equipped with these, the worker must start on his mission and reverently.: seek the joy which comes of spending oneself in the service of one's, country. The Servants ofIndia Society will train men, prepared to devote their lives to the cause ofthe country in a religious spirit and will seek to promote, by all constitutional means the national interest ofthe Indian People. Its members will direct their efforts principally towards (1) creating among the people by example and by precept, a deep and passionate love ofthe motherland, seek its highest fuIfi1ment in service and sacrifice; (2) organising the work ofpolitical education and agitation. bas ing it on a careful study ofpublic questions and strengthening generally the (1) Annual Report 2007-2008 public life ofthe country; (3) promoting relations ofcordial good will and co-operation among the different communities; (4) assisting educational movements especially those for the industrial development ofthe women, the education ofbackward classes and industrial scientific education; (5) -helping forward the industrial development ofthe country; (6) the eleva tion of the depressed classes.
