Shantaram

After all of Raj Thackeray's and MNS's antics, I was reminded today of a quote from Shantaram. During one of Kader Bhai’s brilliant philosophical discussions with Shantaram, Kader Bhai explains to him how he decides what is right and what is wrong.

Kader Bhai says ‘Consider that if everyone in this world, when faced with a similar situation, would do this same thing, then would the world end up being a better place to live in or would it be worse off. If the answer is the former, go right ahead and do what you were planning to do. If the answer is the latter, then it’s definitely the wrong thing to do.’

I just wish that Raj Thackeray and all his hoodlums and silent supporters read and ponder over this.
