Quotes from Kumkum Chadha’s The Marigold Story: Indira Gandhi and Others


 


“When it comes to religion, Indians are easily swayed, fed as they are on oral renditions of the epics since childhood.” ~~ Kumkum Chadha (Book: The Marigold Story: Indira Gandhi and Others)

 

“In politics, one never knows when the tide could turn and the men who may have been pushed into retirement, or retired of their own volition, return to steer the fortunes of their parties.” ~~ Kumkum Chadha (Book: The Marigold Story: Indira Gandhi and Others)

 

“Success is not limited to one’s work space alone. It has more to do with being relevant even when the spotlight shifts from one’s profession.” ~~ Kumkum Chadha (Book: The Marigold Story: Indira Gandhi and Others)

 

“Children of famous parents, even if they are talented in some way or the other, often suffer because even if they work hard and carve a niche for themselves, there is always a cynical subtext to their achievements. There is a general feeling that things happen because the right strings are pulled by virtue of a parent or parents’ status. This is partially true. In many cases, children of well placed parents have to work doubly hard to prove their worth.” ~~ Kumkum Chadha (Book: The Marigold Story: Indira Gandhi and Others)
