Dharma Quote by Collection from articles in The Times of India
““In political terms, the Buddha’s dharma would translate as an attentiveness to the unease of the other; a sharing in his anguish; a willingness to concede one’s errors and establish a just peace. These are skills that India’s political leaders conspicuously lack. If dharma were made the basis of politics, it might help resolve the crises on which the survival of India’s parasitical ruling class depends.””
