Ramachandra Guha Quotes

In 1951 Dec 20th, Nehru, While Campaigning For The First Democratic Elections In India, Took A Short Break To Address A UNESCO Symposium In Delhi. Although He Believed Democracy Was The Best Form Of Governance, While Speaking At The Symposium He Wondered Loud...
The Quality Of Men Who Are Selected By These Modern Democratic Methods Of Adult Franchise Gradually Deteriorates Because Of Lack Of Thinking And The Noise Of Propaganda....He[the Voter] Reacts To Sound And To The Din, He Reacts To Repetition And He Produces Either A Dictator Or A Dumb Politician Who Is Insensitive. Such A Politician Can Stand All The Din In The World And Still Remain Standing On His Two Feet And, Therefore, He Gets Selected In The End Because The Others Have Collapsed Because Of The Din.
-Quoted From India After Gandhi, Page 157.
