Daman Singh

“How has India become poor? There is a conspiracy of silence when we talk about the root causes of poverty in this country. Now, all these years, in the name of planned development we have provided indiscriminate protection to Indian industry. And when you give protection to somebody, this protection is at the cost of somebody else. The rural sector, the farmers of this country have been the worst sufferers of this excessive protection that has been given to the Indian industry.”
― Daman Singh, Strictly Personal: Manmohan and Gursharan

“I realize that silence was a common response of those who survived Partition. It spoke of their inability to explain what they had been through. It was a shield against the memory of loved ones lost, of ancestral homes abandoned.”
