As an individual, as a human being, as a father, as a son,Rajiv Gandhi was good, sincere and kind. He was a sort of man who would stop onthe road if he came across somebody involved in an accident, and he would goall out to help the victim. He was deeply concerned about the condition of theweak, the downtrodden, and the oppressed, not only in India, but all over the world. 'We need a new vision of humanity, a visionbased on truth and non-violence, a vision that will nourish life in all itsmyriad beautiful forms. In the unfolding of this vision, the spiritualexperience of humankind must play its part. It is an experience of love, ofbreaking away from one's narrow grooves, of reaching out beyond oneself, of exploringthe infinite possibilities of oneself' Rajiv Gandhi said once.
