Mankind will endure when the world appreciates the logic of diversity.

When you look at the beginning of the actual war, it's not hard to recognize that the Pakistanis were the ones to attack.

For me it's absolutely the same - I treat one and the other in exactly the same way. As persons, that is, not as men and women. But, even here, you have to consider the fact that I've had a very special education, that I'm the daughter of a man like my father and a woman like my mother.

Life is always full of dangers and I don't think one should avoid dangers.

At no point, at a very important point: that of having convinced the Indians that they can do things.

The struggle for independence here has been conducted in equal measure by men and by women. And when we got our independence, no one forgot that. In the Western world, on the other hand, nothing of the kind has ever happened - women have participated, yes, but revolutions have always been made by men alone.

A revolution is already taking place in India. Things are changing here already - peacefully and democratically. There's no danger of communism. There would be if we had a rightist government instead of mine.
