More quotes by Santha Rama Rau
to the Indian, politics are what the weather is to an Englishman. Politics are an introduction to a stranger on a train, they are the standard filler for embarrassing silences in conversation, they are the inevitable small talk at any social gathering.
Santha Rama Rau
India was ... a country filled for the most part with people who live so close to the necessities of existence that only important things are important to them.
Santha Rama Rau
