‘Golden’ Words
'I am a great admirer of Hitler, and I am not ashamed to say so! I do not say that I agree with all the methods he employed, but he was a wonderful organizer and orator, and I feel that he and I have several things in common.... What India really needs is a dictator who will rule benevolently, but with an iron hand.'
‘If the Muslims of India behave as the Jews in Germanydid, they will deserve the same treatment’
-Bal Thackeray
