Sushma Swaraj was an epitome of an ideal Indian Lady. She proved that all the barriers in the male-dominated field of politics could be broken. She proved her mettle by firmly staying deep rooted for over fifty years, especially in a nation that was ruled for centuries by a monarchy and where the predominant practice of political dynastic rule was followed and also, gained international accreditation.

समाजकारण व राजकारण या दोन्ही गोष्टी सांभाळताना माझ्या मनामधली एक आदर्श व्यक्ती म्हणून सुषमा स्वराज ही प्रतिमा जशी होती ती तशीच कायम राहिली. किंबहुना त्यांच्यामागची आभा आणखी तेजस्वी होत गेली. नंतर सुषमाजींबरोबर कामकरण्याची जसजशी मला संधी मिळत गेली, त्यांचा सहवास मिळाला, त्यांच्याशी जवळीक वाढत गेली तसतसा त्यांच्याविषयीचा आदर द्विगुणित झाला.

In eighteenth-century Britain, Edmund Burke and Charles Fox made common political cause for twenty-five years. They supported the rebellious American colonies, attacked the British slave trade, defended religious liberty, and attempted to shield Britain's public credit from the crisis-prone East India Company. The two men did not share social position, a way of life, a political legacy, or even a generation—but improbably, they were friends.

In February 1946, when twenty-year-old Malcolm Little was sentenced to eight to ten years in a maximum-security prison, he was a petty criminal and street hustler in Boston. By the time he was paroled in August 1952, he had transformed into a voracious reader, joined the Black Muslims, and was poised to become Malcolm X, one of the most prominent and important intellectuals of the civil rights era. While scholars and commentators have exhaustively detailed, analyzed, and debated Malcolm X's post-prison life, they have not explored these six and a half transformative years in any depth.

William McKinley’s presidency was fairly brief as far as presidencies go, but it was incredibly consequential all the same. The most notable and lasting part of his legacy is no doubt the US acquisition of Guam and Puerto Rico, which remain US territories to this very day.

Jean-Luc Barré saisit toute la complexité de l’homme du 18 Juin.
