“Unfortunately, we live in an age of political dwarfs, political managers without vision or courage. But their time is running out.”

Atal Bihari Vajpayee (1924–2018) 10th Prime Minister of India

Vajpayee interviewed by Erich Follath and Tiziano Terzani: “Guru der Nationen”, Der Spiegel, 1996/19, p. 163. quoted from Elst, Koenraad (2001). Decolonizing the Hindu mind: Ideological development of Hindu revivalism. New Delhi: Rupa. p.168
