"Almost a year before he
became the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) chief,
M. S. Golwalkar unambiguously compared the project to
promote a Hindu rashtra with
anti-Semitism. He presented
German dictator Adolf Hitler’s treatment of Jews as a model
to be applied on Indian
Muslims and Christians.”

Of Nathuram Godse and His Idea
of India (Vintage Books, 2022)

To create pervasive fear.”

"My policy is: don’t talk to the
media unless you have to. Is that what a recluse is? If one has to accept every social invitation, one would be out all the time but when I was president of CII (Confederation of Indian Industry: 1993-1994) I did talk to the Press a lot.”

managing director, Godrej & Boyce,

"Currently, 66% of our population
is under the age of 35 years...
The average age of a first-time home buyer in India is about
38 years. So, two-thirds of
the population has still not
contemplated buying a home yet.”

"It is in the high courts that there are now left the largest number of roadblocks and delays; in their administrative functioning the

no one but themselves.”
