The Fact That I Have An Ideology,

When I'm Not Governing My Country Any More, I'll Go Back To Taking Care Of Children. Or Else I'll Start Studying Anthropology - It's A Science That's Always Interested Me Very Much, Also In Relation To The Problem Of Poverty. Or Else I'll Go Back To Studying History - At Oxford I Took My Degree In History. Or Else...i Don't Know, I'm Fascinated By The Tribal Communities. I Might Busy Myself With Them.

For Me It's Absolutely The Same - I Treat One And The Other In Exactly The Same Way. As Persons, That Is, Not As Men And Women. But, Even Here, You Have To Consider The Fact That I've Had A Very Special Education, That I'm The Daughter Of A Man Like My Father And A Woman Like My Mother.

Poverty Assumes So Many Aspects Here In India. There Aren't Only The Poor That You See In The Cities, There Are The Poor Among The Tribes, The Poor Who Live In The Forest, The Poor Who Live On The Mountains. Should We Ignore Them As Long As The Poor In The Cities Are Better Off? And Better Off With Reference To What? To What People Wanted Ten Years Ago? Then It Seemed Like So Much. Today It's No Longer So Much.

The Civil Servant Is Primarily The Master Of The Short-term Solution.

It Depends On What You Mean By The Word Religion. Certainly I Don't Go To Temples And Pray To The Gods Or Anything Like That.
