Vandana Shiva Quotes

I Have A Deep Connection With Mahatma Gandhi, Partly Because My Mother Was A Very, Very Staunch Gandhian And Brought Us Up That Way. When I Was Six Years Old, And All The Girls Were Getting Nylon Dresses, I Was Very Keen To Get A Nylon Frock For My Birthday. My Mother Said, "I Can Get It For You, But Would You Rather-through How You Live And What You Wear And What You Eat-ensure That Food Goes Into The Hands Of The Weaver Or Ensure That Profits Go Into The Bank Of An Industrialist?" That Became Such A Checkstone For Everything In Life.
