As you know a great many people in India cannot read or write. They are illiterate . This is not their fault. They have never had the chance to learn to read. But we know, too, that our country cannot progress as it should do if the majority of the people are ignorant and uneducated. If we are to be the best kind of citizens we must be educated. We must at leas the able to read books and newspapers and magazines. Now those of us, who have had the chance to go to school and to be educated, have been given something of which many of our neighbours have been deprived off. They, therefore, need out help . In this matter we are in a position to help them, if we are willing to do so. We should show our neighbourliness if we found our next door neighbour lying at the side of the road unable to move  because he had broken his leg. Similarly we should show our neighbourliness  when we find him unable to make progress because he cannot read.
