The message of Shihab Dehlvi

For serving one's nation it is necessary to remember our benefactors. Our benefactors are great figures of historical heritage.

If this attitude of neglect remains as such towards our well wisher, men of generous and literary personalities. Then who will have the courage to serve the nation.

It is necessary to thaw this mountain of coldness.

An effort should be made to keep afresh these forgotten memories. Which is the wealth of our historical national accomplishments, so that the movement of practical work may continue.

With Prayers

Shihab Dehlvi
