Rajaji – Statesman


We must learn two things. One is to see ourselves as others see us. We apply one yardstick when we wish to appraise other people. Secondly, we cannot succeed in anything if we act in fear of other people's opinions. - Rajagopalachari, quoted in: R. K. Murthi (1979) Rajaji, life and work, p. 155         
                                          
Chakravarti Rajagopalachari (1878-1972), informally called Rajaji or C.R., was an Indian lawyer, independence activist, politician, writer and statesman.
