Quote

India is the meeting place of the religions and among these Hinduism alone is by itself a vast and complex thing, not so much a religion as a great diversified and yet subtly unified mass of spiritual thought, realization and aspiration.

India's a fascinating country. It's constantly changing, but there's still a lot of superstition and backwards thinking.

India is a curious place that still preserves the past, religions, and its history. No matter how modern India becomes, it is still very much an old country.

A common religion is not possible for India, but a recognition of a common basis for all religions, and the growth of a liberal, tolerant spirit in religious matters, are possible.

I believe in an India of pluralism and diversity, not of religious bigotry and caste politics. I believe in an India that is secure in itself and confident of its place in the world, an India that is a proud example of tolerance, freedom and hope for the downtrodden.

India is a vibrant nation whose strength lies in its commitment to equal rights and to speech, religious and economic freedoms that enrich the lives of all citizens. India is not only the world's largest democracy; it is also a secular, pluralistic society committed to inclusive growth.

I'm not just saying this, but I love everything about India.

India is such a hospitable country.

India I have visited a great many times, though there is a lot about it I will never understand.

The extraordinary thing about India is that it's such a family place. It's full of families everywhere.
