India - the Mother

May (?), 1970

(Remarks from Mother noted from memory by a disciple.⁶⁶)

We should bring a large number of women into the Parliament. And we should organize centres for women all over the country—"Shakti centres."

What is the most important thing that we should do in India?

The first thing that you ought to do is to change the Constitution in such a way that those people who combine honesty and capability should come to power. Normally, people who are honest are not capable, and those who are capable are not honest. Therefore it is very important that people who combine these two qualities should be able to come to power.
