“When the British left, India was a multireligious, multiregional, multiethnic country, exploited, backward, and poor from colonialism.”
“Colonialism hardly ever exploits the whole of a country. It contents itself with bringing to light the natural resources, which it extracts, and exports to meet the needs of the mother country's industries, thereby allowing certain sectors of the colony to become relatively rich. But the rest of the colony follows its path of under-development and poverty, or at all events sinks into it more deeply.”
“But isn't it time for Christians to admit that we should reject bargains if they are gained by the exploitation of the poorest of the poor in developing countries?”
“Right at the flamingo orgy! Left at the multiethnic roof Santas! Straight past the pissing cherubs!”
“Western interests: imperialism, colonialism, exploitation, racism, and other negative -isms.”
“Some would ask what country am I from? We ara supposed to tell the truth, [so] we tell them India. Some thought it was Indiana, not India! Some did not know where India is. I said the country next to Pakistan.”
