"When Rajendra Chola completed 1000 years of his rule (in 2014), no one celebrated it. So we are a marginalised history of India.” Indian history is not Mughal history and not and the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty. I think we should go beyond that.”“We have been builders of norms when it comes to statecraft, individual freedom, tolerance, peaceful coexistence, and (although) not soft power but sublime power and spiritual universalism,” Pandit further added. “The soil in which you transplant institutions has to be equally fertile and acceptive as the institutions themselves.”"
