My brothers and sisters of America, there is not the least shadow of hope that India can ever be Christianized. After two hundred years of vain efforts and of spending millions of dollars with the prestige of the conqueror and backed by British bayonets, Christianity is not supported by the converts themselves.

Virchand Gandhi

The universe is not for man alone, but is a theater of evolution for all living beings. Live and let live is its guiding principle. 'AHIMA Paramo Dharma' - Non-injury is the highest religion.

This is my country, that is your country; these are the conceptions of narrow souls - to the liberal-minded the whole world is a family.
