What an intellectual genius we had in our Indian languages. U R Ananthmurthy was mostly misunderstood than to be understood in required way. One who might have studied his work or research, would not have misunderstood him. He talks about plurality in this video, how easy to understand plurality here. One must be different from rest of the humanity to love the humanity. Great idea!
