1. The voice had to be listened to, not only on account of its form but for the matter which it delivered. It gave a message to the country that it needed greatly. It brought to the common people a realisation of their duty to concern with their affairs. The common people were made to take an interest in the manner in which they were governed, in the taxes they paid, in the return they got from these taxes. The interest in public affairs (politics) was to be the concern no longer only of the highly educated few but of the many-the poor, the property-less, the working men in the town and the country. Politics was not to be the concern of a small aristocracy of intellect or property but of the masses.

2. The improvement, especially in the lives of the people of the neglected villagers was to be placed before the government and political organisations as the goal of all political endeavour. Raising the standards of living of the people of the villages, the finding of subsidiary occupations which would give them enforced leisure during the off-season and an addition to their small income, the improvement of the housing of the poor, the sanitation of the villages-to be the objectives to keep in view.

3. In the towns, there was especially a class of the poor for which compassionate voice pleaded and protested. This was the so called depressed classes, the outcasts of the Hindu society. The denial of the elementary human rights to this class was considered the greatest blot on Hindu society and history. It raised its passionate protest against the age-old wrongs of this class and forced those that listened to it to endeavour to remove the most outrageous of them e.g. untouchability. It caused a revolution in Hindu religious practice by having Hindu temples thrown open to these people.

Look To This Day,

Look to this day

For it is life, the very life of life.

In its briefest course

Lie all the verities and realities of your existence

The bliss of growth,

The glory of action.

The splendour of achievement

Are but experiences of time.

For yesterday is but a dream

And tomorrow is only a vision;

And today well lived, makes

Yesterday a dream of happiness

And every tomorrow a vision of hope.

Look well therefore to this day;

Such is the salutation to this ever new dawn.
