A more human philosophy of life.

Our ideas will overcome your ideas… What is important is that we have a superior way of life. We Indians have a more human philosophy of life. We Indians will show this country how to act human. Someday this country will revise its constitution, its laws, in terms of human beings, instead of property… What is the ultimate value of a man’s life? That is the question.

I don't see that happening, which is sad.

A more human philosophy of life.
