Indian Quotes

When I was sixteen I started acting, and I also started to embrace my tradition and culture. I had a young medicine man interpret for me what it is to be an Indian.

It used to be that almost all innovation came from the U.S. and a small number of other developed countries. That’s no longer the case, and as China and India grow, it’s changing even more. Expect a lot more Chinese and Indian Nobel prizes in the future Picture Quote #1

In villages across the developing world, governments have provided reasonable enough latrines that have again and again been turned into storage spaces or simply abandoned. In India alone, millions of government-funded latrines have become goat-sheds. Some had been built near kitchens, a taboo in Indian households Picture Quote #1

In establishment Indian and Pakistani thought, Kashmiris are defined as different from the nationals of the two countries Picture Quote #1

Sitting down to a meal with an Indian family is different from sitting down to a meal with a British family Picture Quote #1

I think the way the audience takes the Indian film-star is a little different from the way the audience takes the Western star there. We are considered like demi-gods here, and the reason is not because we are better or good, but because there is no other mode of entertainment in India Picture Quote #1

I’m free to see things objectively because I don’t consider myself American, and I don’t consider myself British or Indian.

I think it would be fair and right to use some of my land and wealth for a drug-rehab center or an Indian school Picture Quote #1

My mother was born in Burma, but my grandfather on her side was Indian-Spanish. So I have this quite exotic mix, which is reflected in my earliest memories, in our Wiltshire country kitchen, of gran, and aunts, cooking spicy stewy, casseroley curries, a version of Indian food with a Burmese twist Picture Quote #1

I was lucky in my early years to play for a Karnataka team that was trying to forge itself into a strong side, and they were years of fun and learning. In the Indian team, I was fortunate to be part of a wonderful era when India played some of its finest cricket at home and abroad Picture Quote #1

From a spinner’s perspective, in India it was never easy for me to judge where to stand: how far forward, how far back, because on Indian wickets the ball does not carry as much as abroad. That is true of slip fielding in general. I wouldn’t say only for spinner - even for a fast bowler, that holds true Picture Quote #1

So often these days eating Indian food passes for spirituality. I don’t meditate, I don’t pray, but I eat two samosa’s every day Picture Quote #1

It would be a sad day for India if it has to inherit the English scale and the English tastes so utterly unsuitable to the Indian environment Picture Quote #1

People were, in good faith perhaps, writing history books about the Indian working class, Indian peasantry, et cetera, and at no point did Communists make an entry, not even to be criticized. They were essentially being whitewashed from history Picture Quote #1

The creation of India and Pakistan were pyrrhic victories for their denizens because the political, socioeconomic, psychological, and culture havoc wreaked by that momentous event is reflected in those pogroms, ethnic cleansing, proliferation of nuclear weapons, poverty, and riots that continue to cause seismic tremors in the Indian subcontinent Picture Quote #1
