I've often felt that the Indian tiger has not been unleashed.
Jumping genes are fundamental because they're agents of change. Everybody knows that organisms evolve. What makes them evolve is that their genes are dynamic and in motion. A familiar example is the stripe-y corn - called Indian corn - that you buy in the fall.

I mix Indian instruments with Western instruments all the time.
I am not interested in producing fiction for Indian television at all, the reason being that I don't understand the medium. I can be a judge or a host; I can do that as an individual. But to produce TV content, you have to know the game.
Definitely, I think I fulfill a very funny Indian stereotype because I love technology. It's something I've always been interested in.
I hate the term 'Bollywood,' because we're not a 'me too' of Hollywood. The Indian film industry is prolific.
My brother had a house in Paris. To it came many Western classical musicians. These musicians all made the same point: 'Indian music,' they said, 'is beautiful when we hear it with the dancers. On its own, it is repetitious and monotonous.'
Indian films are like our food or our sense of dress or our languages: there's a great variety, and it changes every 100 miles, but there is something in common, a national Indian essence, that binds them all together.
I am a south Indian, so I speak Tamil.
Indian higher education is completely regulated. It's very difficult to start a private university. It's very difficult for a foreign university to come to India. As a result of that, our higher education is simply not keeping pace with India's demands. That is leading to a lot of problems which we need to address.
I used to be fond of Indian arm wrestling.
My background is from India, and I always get asked, 'When are you going to do an Indian film, a musical or Bollywood film?'
Well, I guess I needed this tough first round to really put me into that tournament, to really erase what happened at Indian Wells, which is now the case, you know.
It is not yet too late for the Indian people to decide on rapid, ordered progress. I can assure them that the British people are as determined upon self-government for India as they are themselves.
England understands good Chinese, Japanese and Indian cuisine; in France, we just get French.
I worked at this great Toronto bar, Indian Motorcycle. I started off as the grunt. I was the guy who cleaned up the puke and the ashtrays and the garbage. Worked in front from four in the afternoon until four in the morning.
I am Indian, and I'm proud of it. Indian life is mythologically rich and powerful.
I hope to work in Indian films again. I would love to.

The Indian knew how to live without wants, to suffer without complaint, and to die singing.

The first thing I am is a person. I am a woman. And I am part of a nation, the Indian nation. But people either relate to you as an Indian or as a woman. They relate to you as a category. A lot of people don't realize that I am not that different from everyone else.
Pakistan will never be able to match the Indian militarily, and the effort to do so is taking an immense toll on the society.

I look more Indian when I'm serious.
I did the Kannada film when just out of school. I didn't know anything about the South Indian film industry at that time, and I did the film to earn some pocket money. I realised then I like acting.
For the longest time, Indian women have been okay with being curvy. But I think the modern Indian woman needs to get toned. I don't endorse being thin. Anorexia and bulimia are a reality in India because everybody wants to be thin.
We did not know there were other people besides the Indian until about one hundred winters ago, when some men with white faces came to our country.
It is a great shock at the age of five or six to find that in a world of Gary Coopers you are the Indian.

I believe Indian banks have a strong funding profile with largely deposit-funded balance sheets, a large physical presence to cater to the needs of customers, and ability to provide comprehensive solutions to customers.
Lo! The poor Indian, whose untutored mind sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind.
