It is this larger significance of my election rather than any personal sense of honour that makes me rejoice on this occasion.

Additional quotes by K. R. Narayanan
At the time of Indian independence, I was a student in London and we the students, Indian students, celebrated the moment with great joy. I was exhilarated, no doubt, but the shadow of two events fell upon the jollifications. First, a sense of disappointment that the imperialist objective of dividing India has been achieved. And second, the communal carnage which took place in India cast another shadow on it.
