“[There is an] unbridgeable chasm in the world. On one side are such criminal gangs, sanctified by the term government, and the United Nations they dominate, enforcing by their guns mass slavery, mass death, mass violence, mass impoverishment, and mass famine. On the other side are democratic countries where people are free, secure, and need not fear mass impoverishment, murder at the hands of government agents, and killing famines.”

“Along with independence of India from the colonial rule, physical and mental development of masses is necessary for rebuilding the nation”

Bidhan Chandra Roy (1882–1962) Former Chief Minister of West Bengal, India

Above three quotes in Bharat Ratna Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, 10 December 2013, Global Politician http://www.globalpolitician.com/default.asp?26949-india-bc-roy-independence,

“Many of the world’s troubles are not due just to Russia or communism. They would be with us in any event because we live in an era of revolution—the revolution of rising expectations. In Asia, the masses now count for something. Tomorrow, they will count for more. And, for better or for worse, the future belongs to those who understand the hopes and fears of masses in ferment. The new nations want independence, including the inalienable able right to make their own mistakes. The people want respect—and something to eat every day. And they want something better for their children.”

Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965) mid-20th-century Governor of Illinois and Ambassador to the UN
