The Purpose Of Life Is To Believe,

People Often Ask Me: Who Has Influenced You The Most? Your Father? Mahatma Gandhi? Yes, My Choices Were Fundamentally Influenced By Them, By The Spirit Of Equality They Infused In Me - My Obsession For Justice Comes From My Father, Who In Turn Got It From Mahatma Gandhi.

I Began To Associate With Mahatma Gandhi When He Came And Went In Our House - Together With My Father And Mother He Was On The Executive Committee. After Independence I Worked With Him A Lot - In The Period When There Were The Troubles Between Hindus And Muslims, He Assigned Me To Take Care Of The Muslims. To Protect Them.

To Become Our Enemies - What An Absurdity. A Crazy Absurdity When You Stop To Think That We, Muslims And Hindus, Had Conducted The Struggle For Independence Together.

You Cannot Shake Hands With A Clenched Fist.

Life Is A Continuous Process Of Adjustment.
