“Gandhi is the other person. I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you.

To me, those are the real freedoms on the basis of which good human societies are based.”
― Vandana Shiva
