Arnav Jain

“A philosopher is a lover of wisdom, not of knowledge, which for all its great uses ultimately suffers from the crippling effect of ephemerality. All knowledge is transient linked to the world around it and subject to change as the world changes, whereas wisdom, true wisdom is eternal immutable. To be philosophical one must love wisdom for its own sake, accept its permanent validity and yet its perpetual irrelevance. It is the fate of the wise to understand the process of history and yet never to shape it.”
― Shashi Tharoor

“The only possible idea of India is that of a nation greater than the sum of its parts.”
― Shashi Tharoor

“In India we celebrate the commonality of major differences; we are a land of belonging rather than of blood.”
― Shashi Tharoor

“In Indian culture, the woman of the house — the embodiment of the family’s honor — treasures her gold jewelry both as her soundest asset and as the symbol of her status.”
― Shashi Tharoor, India: From Midnight to the Millennium and Beyond
