"

The true history of the world must always be the history of the few; and as we measure the Himalaya by the height of Mount Everest, we must take the true measure of India from the poets of the Veda, the sages of the Upanishads, the founders of the Vedanta and Sankhya philosophies, and the authors of the oldest law-books, and not from the millions who are born and die in their villages, and who have never for one moment been roused out of their drowsy dream of life.

India: What it Can Teach Us

"

Bombay, you will be told, is the only city India has, in the sense that the word city is understood in the West. Other Indian metropolises like Calcutta, Madras and Delhi are like oversized villages. It is true that Bombay has many more high-rise buildings than any other Indian city: when you approach it by the sea it looks like a miniature New York. It has other things to justify its city status: it is congested, it has traffic jams at all hours of the day, it is highly polluted and many parts of it stink.

13 million Indians will join the workforce every year from now till 2030. They know their prospects aren__ good. Here__ why: in the years from 1972 to 1983__ot celebrated as a time of overwhelming prosperity__he total number of jobs in the economy nevertheless grew 2.3 per cent a year. In the years between liberalization in 1991 and today, jobs have grown at an average of only 1.6 per cent a year. But, if these young people have to be absorbed, then jobs must grow at least 3 per cent a year__lmost twice the rate at which they have since liberalization. This is simply not happening.

Restart: The Last Chance for the Indian Economy

"

Bhagat Singh revered Lajpat Rai as a leader. But he would not spare even Lajpat Rai, when, during the last years of his life, Lajpat Rai turned to communal politics. He then launched a political-ideological campaign against him. Because Lajpat Rai was a respected leader, he would not publicly use harsh words of criticism against him. And so he printed as a pamphlet Robert Browning__ famous poem, __he Lost Leader,_ in which Browning criticizes Wordsworth for turning against liberty. The poem begins with the line __ust for a handful of silver he left us._ A few more of the poem__ lines were: __e shall march prospering, not thro_ his presence; Songs may inspirit us, not from his lyre,_ and __lot out his name, then, record one lost soul more._ There was not one word of criticism of Lajpat Rai. Only, on the front cover, he printed Lajpat Rai__ photograph!

India's Struggle for Independence

"

We live in a world today that lacks loving-kindness and compassion for our fellow man and woman. As Gandhi so eloquently stated, "Be the change that you wish to see in the world." We need to strive to be better, to be the image of selflessness. Love and give to those in need--expecting nothing in return. Give out of sincerity and from the depths of our hearts. Have compassion for every man, woman and child, no matter what ethnicity or background they come from. Love is blind. Love is unconditional. Love has the power to heal and redeem, and that is what Humanity should strive for.
