I travelled around small-town India a lot for a job from 2010-2012, and I was impressed by the energy I encountered in these places.

Indians are usually seen as capsulized: limited to one environment, with the illusion of stability in that environment. But Indians have been engaged all over the world for centuries, in Europe, even in Asia.

Here in L.A., there are a lot of dead spots, and you have to drive to find energy, but all of India is so energetic.

I'm very attracted to Indians.

Tribes have the potential to provide almost 15 percent of the country's electricity with wind power, and have 4.5 times the solar resources to power the entire U.S.

Indians love to reduce the prosaic to the mystic.

There are people doing yoga in New York, dancing around; that's the power of India. You go to a nightclub somewhere in Spain and there's Amitabh Bachchan on the screen there, dancing around. That's the power of India. That's the power of Indian people.

Indians are numerous in the tropical regions; not so elsewhere.

Today, India consumes about 682 watts per capita, far lesser than developed nations. As India develops, it will definitely require a lot more energy.

I'm in politics to make the lives of millions of Indians better.
