Each year India and China produce four million graduates compared with just over 250 000 in Britain.

Gandhi has asked that the British Government should walk out of India and leave the Indian people to settle differences among themselves even if it means chaos and confusion.

I thought I was benefiting the Indians as well as the government by taking them all over the United States and giving them a correct idea of the customs life etc. of the pale faces so that when they returned to their people they could make known all they had seen.

The soldiers never explained to the government when an Indian was wronged but reported the misdeeds of the Indians.

Every Indian outbreak that I have ever known has resulted from broken promises and broken treaties by the government.

So Indian policy has become institutionalized and the result has been that American people have become more dependent on government and that the American people have become more dependent on corporations.

Lo! The poor Indian whose untutored mind sees God in clouds or hears him in the wind.

Also it is interesting that developing countries with China and India perhaps in the lead where the future of the global environment will be decided are now on board with the case for sustainable development.

India-Seychelles relations have been characterized by close friendship understanding and cooperation.

We can't equate democracy with Christianity because the largest democracy on earth is India which is primarily Hindu. The third largest democracy is Indonesia which is Islamic. Democracy and freedom are not dependent on Christian beliefs.

Violent means will give violent freedom. That would be a menace to the world and to India herself.

I think there is a real misconception about Indian food being super spicy. And I know that's because when you go into an Indian restaurant it is pretty spicy. But it doesn't have to be. In fact my husband can't handle a lot of heat. I've had to temper my cooking so that he can eat with me.

When I was younger I was fat. I was never conscious of it and was content with who I was because I was so loved. My mother never told me to lose weight and my father doted on me but my agent told me. I tried but I loved Indian food too much.

I like to cook Indian food when I can. I find the process of creating a home-cooked meal to be unwinding.

One can hardly be Indian and not know that almost every accent which hand you eat your food with has some deeper symbolic truth reality.

But Australia faces additional regional and global challenges also crucial to our nation's future - climate change questions of energy and food security the rise of China and the rise of India. And we need a strong system of global and regional relationships and institutions to underpin stability.

In my travels I also noticed that kids in Thailand like spicy food and kids in India love curry. I'm hoping to introduce my son Hudson to lots of veggies and spices when he's young. I say that before he's started on solid foods so it could be easier in theory than practice!

My late wife Olympia was Goan and I've been to India many times. I love the food there. We used to do our shopping in Southall where you can find cheap but wonderful fruit like mangoes vegetables and spices. I didn't do much of the cooking as Olympia did a lot - I was the under-chef and did some of the chopping.

I do love Italian food. Any kind of pasta or pizza. My new pig out food is Indian food. I eat Indian food like three times a week. It's so good.

Sitting down to a meal with an Indian family is different from sitting down to a meal with a British family.

I have been particularly struck with the overwhelming evidence which is given as to the fitness of the natives of India for high offices and employments.

If the Indian people want stories written about themselves how they want them told they are going to have to make them they're going to have to finance them. If you let Hollywood do it Hollywood is going to get it wrong most of the time.

I don't think that anyone seriously fears that the world can be blown to pieces all together. But what one can fear and rightly so are regional things like in the Middle East India Pakistan the Korean Peninsula borders in Africa etc.

Unless India stands up to the world no one will respect us. In this world fear has no place. Only strength respects strength.
