ஒரு பேட்டி

Dear Jeyamohan ,

Very happy to see yours and Priyamvada’s interview in New India Abroad Magazine. I subscribed to it to read. Both of your answers are very sharp and precise.  With the given six and seven questions, answers cover broader India, its culture and the current need.  There are a lot of quotable lines from both of you to make the flyers for SOTT. These are my quick picks.

‘There are bound to be many aspects in that culture that are outdated or against humanity. A person of today must weed them out. When politics uses religion, language, race, and other such identities that may have emerged in these cultures, it gives rise to fascism. Therefore, today’s citizens have to be mindful about what they call their own identity’  – Jeyamohan

‘Literature is not social or moral education. I was possessed by an urge to translate this book not because of social ideals, but because it was simply a magnificent work from one of the best storytellers of our times’. – Priyamvada

Willing to see more and more interviews like this.

Best Regards,

Soundar
