The batters are the pampered elite of the game [cricket] and the bowlers the overworked subalterns is a truth that (alas) is far from universally acknowledged. I have polemicised against this biased reward system myself, but to little avail.

I took my father to AIIMS in Delhi. I could not arrange a stretcher for him for three days. That day I realised what power and money are all about. If I had power, money and political connections, my father could have been saved.

president, Azad Samaj Party
The BJP functions like a multinational company where the scope of innovation is limited and people work in a particular way as directed by Delhi. Also, sycophancy will give you a career boost, instead of hard work.
Kunal Sarangi
former BJP leader from Jharkhand
Anything can be corrupted. When socialism started, we felt so good but then it got corrupted and turned into some other kind of democracy…. The same is the case with cell phones. Initially, when the boom of smartphones happened, we felt the world was now at our fingertips. But, today, we are slaves to our phones.

Spirituality has been extremely integral to my personal growth, and it translates into my work. It influences all aspects of my life—communication, perception, and handling of conflict. Spirituality has been the strength I needed to overcome many obstacles. In today’s world, you need spirituality more than ever because there is so much pain and sickness.
