I AM PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN. I BELIEVE THAT, WE ARE ALL GOD'S CHILDREN AND,
THEREFORE, BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO ONE ANOTHER. I KNOW THAT SOME OF MY FELLOW COUNTRYMEN PROFESS DIFFERENT FAITHS,
BUT THEY ARE ALL A PART OF MY OWN HUMAN FAMILY.
I PLEDGE TO LOVE ALL MY COUNTRYMEN REGARDLESS OF THEIR RELIGION OR REGION AND TO DO ALL I CAN TO MAKE MY COUNTRY A GREAT NATION.
I ALSO PLEDGE TO RESPECT MY COUNTRY'S ENVIRONMENT, SO THAT THE NEXT GENERATION CAN LIVE IN SECURITY AND PEACE.
SO HELP ME GOD
...AMEN
