Thought for the Week

A quote from Sri Aurobindo:

Politics is the work of the kshatriya. It is the qualities of the kshatriya we India needs to cultivate if we are to be fit for freedom…What India needs especially at this moment is aggressive virtues, the spirit of soaring idealism, bold creation, fearless resistance, courageousattack; of the passive tamasic inertia, we already have too much.

We should be absolutely unsparing in whatever obstructs the growth of our nation and never be afraid to call a spade a spade. Excessive good nature will never do..in serious politics. Respect of persons must alwaysgive way to truth and conscience.
