"I can make political speeches in English. But, if I wish to convey the feelings in my heart, the only language that I use is Punjabi. But, it disappoints me when I see youngsters not speaking in Punjabi. Our youth is neither fully conversant with Punjabi nor English. There is something seriously wrong here," he said.

He said this was true in case of most other Indian languages too. "Tagore (Rabindra Nath) achieved international fame writing in Bangla. But now, we are producing only good English authors. Why are we not content in our own skin? We have to be proud of who we are," he said.

He also lamented the fact that most Indians were ignoring the core values associated with this country. "Till honesty, integrity and ethics are not there, progress has no meaning. Even Gandhi did not want a new India, he sought new Indians," Dosanjh said.
