“Scientific temperament is a process of thinking, method of action, search of truth, way of life, spirit of a freeman.”
Narendra Dabholkar, The Case for Reason: Volume One: Understanding the Anti-superstition Movement

“Fascists say you must live as they tell you. Free people say that you should live your own life and we will live ours.”
William Foltney, Islam: Religion or Fascism?

“Savarkar went a step yet further than Golwalkar. He brazenly supported the Manusmriti, which said that a Shudra who insults a high-caste man with gross invectives should have his tongue cut out, for the former was of low origin; that if he arrogantly taught Brahmins their duty, the king should cause hot oil to be poured into his mouth and into his ears; that a low-caste man who tried to place himself on the same seat with a man of high caste should be branded on his hips and be banished or the king should cause his buttocks to be gashed.38 Of this same text, Savarkar said, ‘Manusmriti is that scripture which is most worshipable after Vedas for our Hindu nation.”
Ashutosh, Hindu Rashtra

Pervin Saket, Urmila
