At no point, at a very important point: that of having convinced the Indians that they can do things.
I cannot understand how anyone can be an Indian and not be proud.
As a nation, I believe we've acquired faith in ourselves.
Defeats are always pitiful. Victories are always last resources.
I want to succeed. And I want to succeed in the best way possible, without caring whether people call my actions leftist or rightist.
I like to think I've provided this faith. I also think that by providing faith, I've focused their pride. I say focused because pride isn't something you give. It doesn't even break out suddenly; it's a feeling that grows very slowly, very confusedly.
