Quotes by Aruni Kashyap (?)

“A radical love story is the only device that makes the time-chariot of a village, a city, a country, gallop faster. Such a love story pulls the wheels of that chariot from a murky, regressive past towards a spotlessly clean road under autumn-blue skies. And for that chariot to move forward, to bring change in the village, you don鈥檛 have to be conscious of being a radical. You just have to fall in love.”
― Aruni Kashyap, The House with a Thousand Stories

“Assamese life has more meaning than the violence, than its relationship with Delhi. Assam may not be sovereign politically, or economically, but the Assamese imagination has to remain sovereign.”
― Aruni Kashyap

“When my cousin Anil-da started telling us what he鈥檇 heard at the market about the groom鈥檚 family, at my aunt Moina-pehi鈥檚 wedding in January 2002, his eyes shone like inky marbles reflecting sunlight.”
