QUOTA of QUOTES
“Jimmy Carter was that all too rare example of a gifted man who also walks with humility, modesty and grace.”—Outgoing Vice President Kamala Harris, delivering a eulogy at the funeral of America’s 39th president and 76th governor of Georgia.
“We should just look for good films made by filmmakers who are uncompromising in their art. Low budget or big budget, star or no star, just great artistic cinema.”—Grammy Awardwinning music composer Ricky Kej, responding on X to the news that Laapataa Ladies, India’s official entry for the Oscars, was not shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.
“Racism in America is still alive and well, and we must stand up to it together. Just read the replies to any recent post that includes ‘H- 1B’ to see the deplorable rhetoric targeting Indian Americans.”— Congressman Shri Thanedar, responding on X to the attacks on him and others after they expressed support for the H-1B program.
“You can’t have it both ways. You can’t woo the Indian- American community and then when extremists are attacking Indian-Americans as not American, stay silent or have your allies feed those flames.”— Neera Tanden, director of the United States Domestic Policy Council, criticizing the Trump team for not responding to attacks on Indian Americans on X.
