India has a consistent and well-known position on terrorism. We oppose all acts of terrorism, wherever they occur. We have repeatedly said that no cause can justify violence and destruction, particularly aimed at civilians.

We can prevent many people from becoming terrorists by truly listening to people who feel they've been treated unjustly and responding to their concerns with a sense of justice and compassion.

If we dismiss from our minds the prejudice we may have against the Indians we shall be able to more clearly understand the impulses that govern both races.

An Indian respects a brave man, but he despises a coward.

Dialogue is the basis of Indian culture, and we don't want to make any enemies. Political and ideological adversaries, perhaps, but not enemies.

The more we study the Indian's character the more we appreciate the marked distinction between the civilized being and the real savage.

Above all, we must avoid the pitfalls of tribalism. If we are divided among ourselves on tribal lines, we open our doors to foreign intervention and its potentially harmful consequences.

We all know the epicentre of terrorism in the world today is Pakistan. The world community has to come to grips with this harsh reality.

The whole Indian thing, I always say it's really the American holocaust. It's something we need to look at.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian he can live in peace.
