00:00The line says,
00:01We as Indians may know nothing at all,
00:09but we know what is love.
00:11We remain loyal, we remain steadfast.
00:13That obviously cannot be the case.
00:14If you know nothing at all,
00:15you will not know love either.
00:17But somehow this thing has gone into the Indian psyche
00:20that lovers we all are.
00:23And love means having some kind of a right over the other's life.
00:30Yes, of course, in love you do have a right over the other's life.
00:33But in what sense?
00:34That's a question lost to India.
00:36We don't address that question.
00:38West knows love of the personal kind and no other love.
00:43India was fortunate it came to know of a higher love.
00:47But it reduced that higher love to one of personal kind.
00:51I do not know which one is the worst tragedy.
