I Don't Mind If My Life Goes

My Fiancé, You See, Belonged To Another Religion. He Was A Parsi. And This Was Something Nobody Could Stand - All Of India Was Against Us. They Wrote To Gandhi, To My Fther, To Me. Insults, Death Threats. Every Day The Postman Arrived With An Enormous Sack And Dumped The Letters On The Floor. We Even Stopped Reading Them; We Let A Couple Of Friends Read Them And Tell Us What Was In Them.

I Always Defended My Father, As A Child, And I Think I'm Still Defending Him - His Policies At Least. Oh, He Wasn't At All A Politician, In No Sense Of The Word. He Was Sustained In His Work Only By A Blind Faith In India - He Was Preoccupied In Such An Obsessive Way By The Future Of India. We Understood Each Other.

What Does Nonalignment Mean? It Means We Don't Belong To Any Military Bloc And That We Reserve The Right To Be Friends With Any Country, Independently Of The Influence Of Any Country. All This Has Remained Unchanged After The Signing Of The Indo-soviet Treaty, And Others Can Say Or Think What They Like - Our Policy Won't Change Because Of The Soviet Union.

I'm Trained To Difficulties; Difficulties Can't Be Eliminated From Life.

If By Happiness You Mean Instead An Ordinary Contentment, Then Yes - I'm Fairly Contented. Not Satisfied - Contented.
