While logic is important, emotional connection is essential, as younger generations are forgetting how to feel. Our scriptures were meant to evoke, and relationships today suffer from lack of grace.
Prasoon Joshi
lyricist
My approach has always been to honour the core of my style—my distinct voice and performance—while exploring new avenues and embracing change. Innovation does not mean losing oneself; rather, it is about enhancing and evolving in ways that remain authentic.
Usha Uthup

We are 1.4 billion population, the world’s largest population. But I think the most important question we have to ask is what is the playing population of India? And my understanding, on my assumption, would be that it is substantially a very low number.

India’s claims to world leadership are foolish fantasies. The problems our country faces, such as institutional decay, growing inequality, corruption and cronyism in governance, and pervasive environmental degradation, should provide a brutal reality check.
Ramachandra Guha
historian
Fifty years on this planet, and I find that we are still teaching our daughters the same thing that I was taught as a child. Don’t go alone—to the park, to school, to work. Don’t go alone with any man—even if it is your uncle, cousin or friend. Don’t go alone in the morning or evening, and especially not at night…. It is time to ensure that laws are enforced and followed, guaranteeing safety measures for women in public spaces instead of confining us at home.
