“I come from a political family. My father was a freedom fighter. He was a prominent leader of the locality and member of the Congress party. He spent 10 years in British prisons.

So politics was not unfamiliar to me.” YearsPoliticalUsedFatherRoomsPartyLeaderSubjectsMembersPrisonCongressBritishFighterEveningLiving RoomUnfamiliarProminentFreedom FighterLocalityCongress Party Author:Pranab Mukherjee
“Too many members of Congress are too involved in grabbing what they can for their states or districts without enough emphasis on overall fiscal restraint for the sake of the nation as a whole.

“I make some movies for myself. I do that sometimes when the subject matter is very sensitive and very personal and I really can't imagine that I'm an audience member. I would lose myself too much if I thought of myself as the audience.

“The members of a body-politic call it "the state" when it is passive, "the sovereign" when it is active, and a "power" when they compare it with others of its kind. Collectively they use the title "people," and they refer to one another individually as "citizens" when speaking of their participation in the authority of the sovereign, and as "subjects" when speaking of their subordination to the laws of the state.” PeopleKindStatesUseBodyLawSubjectsCitizensMembersAuthorityActiveTitlesComparePassiveSovereignParticipationSubordination Author:Jean-Jacques Rousseau
