Faxian and Xuanzang might have been the first Chinese to travel to India, but sometimes it felt like I was the first.

Kabhi tere shehar se guzarein toh parr lena inney,Maine hawaon pe apne kuch safarname likhe hain..

Last summer we had eight people in the [Christian] congregation who danced four different sun dances. Of course the missionaries have said all along that those ceremonies are pagan and we can't do that. Our people insist that they are free in the gospel, free in Christ Jesus, to participate in Indian religious forms and ceremonies. - George Tinker

In a great number of the cosmogonic myths the world is said to have developed from a great water, which was the prime matter. In many cases, as for instance in an Indian myth, this prime matter is indicated as a solution, out of which the solid earth crystallized out.

Look at the truth from how it stands, not where it comes from. The truth is still the truth no matter whether it is spoken by an Indian, an American, a Chinese, an European, an African or an Australian!

I used to be a poet.My words were traded in marketplaces like pieces of gold.Merchants bought my verses for as much as they paid for saffron and Indian jade.Now I am old...drunk on wine and candle fumes.Alone in this barren room, I speak my psalms to the night air so as to entertain moths before they go off to die.I used to be a poet and my words were gold.

O, I do read Indian novels sometimes. But you know, Ms Rupinder, what we Indians want in literature, at least the kind written in English, is not literature at all, but flattery. We want to see ourselves depicted as soulful, sensitive, profound, valorous, wounded, tolerant and funny beings. All that Jhumpa Lahiri stuff. But the truth is, we are absolutely nothing of that kind. What are we, then, Ms Rupinder? We are animals of the jungle, who will eat our neighbour's children in five minutes, and our own in ten. Keep this in mind before you do any business in this country.

We are at war. There will be scars. _ Uttara Vairati

For too long now divinity and destiny have legitimized what reason and compassion would not. An individual for a family, a family for the kingdom, a kingdom for an empire... And now _ an empire for humanity._ Govinda Shauri

Peace is one thing, revolution is another. You were either impatient or highly optimistic to think one would lead to the other. _ Panchali Draupadi.

Kill them. Kill them all. Remind the world what it means to be Arya. Remind the world what it is to walk with the gods. _ Syoddhan Kauravya

I have placed my faith in humanity, but faith in the universal becomes meaningless without faith in the individual. _ Panchali Draupadi

Without love, we would not comprehend compassion.- Govinda Shauri

Kill them. Kill them all. Remind the world what it means to be Arya. Remind the world what it is to walk with the gods._ Syoddhan Kauravyaw

The Wheel of Time spins: there is beginning and there is end. But why does the Wheel of Time spin? Is it some divine force that propels it? Or is that force humanity, people in search of change and a better way of life?_ Asvattama Bharadvaja

No one person is the cause for or consequence of all that happens. I am just the tenth man, the threshold, the turn in the tide. I stand here on the shoulders of humanity, a mere instrument of Time._ Govinda Shauri

I am death; I am this blood, these ravaged lands, and this wanton destruction. _ Panchali Draupadi
