I want an India where people do not talk in terms of religion. I do not want to be called a Muslim and I do not want to call my close friend Ravi, a Hindu.

If we Indians stop identifying each other by our religions, most of our problems would be over.

I went to the fish business after completing school. My family did not have money to send me to college. But I do not regret it. I am today a successful fisherman. I sell enough fish every day to look after my family well.

This mobile phone that I have has revolutionised my fish business. I can deliver fish on instant orders from homes, hotels etc. My business has multiplied. I want to open fish outlets across Kerala.

My dream is to build a beautiful house on the seaside in five years. If the fish business goes well as it is today, I am sure I will attain it.

My biggest problems are the policemen. They create unnecessary hassles. We have to pay them money to ensure that they do not restrict our business.

I think India's biggest problem is the Ayodhya issue. I have read about it in newspapers. It is sad that our politicians have not yet settled the problem.

India needs young men like me, who are ready to do any work to make the country prosperous and rich.
