Poverty Is The Deprivation Of Opportunity.

I'm Very Skeptical Of The Amount Of Money That Goes Into Military Expenditure, Not Just In The Poor Countries [but] Also In The Rich. I Think It's One Of The Most Massive Wastes In The World, But Education Is [at The] Other End. It's The Bearer Of The Greatest Fruits That Mankind Has Ever Known.

Women Had Always Been Thought Of As Looking After The Family When Men Go And Earn An Income And They're The Bread Earner And So On. So There Is A Kind Of Generation Of Inequality, [and], On Top Of The Fact, Women Have Pregnancies And Periods, [and] When The Children Are Very Small, There Are Greater Demands On Their Time. So One Way Or Another Women Have Had A Pretty Rough Deal In The Past, And There's No Reason Why That Should Continue, And Any Country That Has Tried To Remedy That Has Succeeded In Doing So.

I Think In Those Countries, Including My Own In India, Where I Think Primary Education Has Been Badly Neglected By Successive Governments, I Blame The Opposition As Much. Why Have They Allowed The Government To Get Away With It?

Sometimes The Lack Of Substantive Freedoms Relates Directly To Economic Poverty

I Remain Instinctively Hostile To Communitarian Philosophy And Communitarian Politics.
