Forgiveness is a virtue of the brave.

You found an uncle on one side and a nephew on the other, a cousin here and a cousin there. Besides it's still true today. I'll tell you something else. There was a time when even two ambassadors to Switzerland, the one from India and the one from Pakistan, were two blood brothers. Oh, the Partition imposed on us by the British was so unnatural!

My children needed me, and I like my job as a social worker.

I'm trained to difficulties; difficulties can't be eliminated from life.

In fact the communists gained strength in India when the people thought my party was moving to the right. And they were correct.

I always defended my father, as a child, and I think I'm still defending him - his policies at least. Oh, he wasn't at all a politician, in no sense of the word. He was sustained in his work only by a blind faith in India - he was preoccupied in such an obsessive way by the future of India. We understood each other.

Martyrdom does not end something, it only a beginning.
