If I'm happy, I look happy; if I'm angry, I show it. Without worrying about how others may react.

I cannot understand how anyone can be an Indian and not be proud.

Education is a liberating force, and in our age it is also a democratizing force, cutting across the barriers of caste and class, smoothing out inequalities imposed by birth and other circumstances.

Mahatma Gandhi was always talking of religion...He was convinced that was right...The fact is, we young people didn't agree with him on many things.

I don't waste time in flowery small talk, as people do in India.

In India's distant past, when the population was low, the blessing given a woman was, 'May you have many children.' Most of our epics and literature stress this wish, and the idea that a woman should have many children hasn't declined.

Nothing lasts forever, and no one can predict what will happen to me in the near or distant future.
