"As long as the attitude of ‘yahan sab kuch chalta hai’ remains embedded in governance and public life, the ambition of Viksit Bharat will remain difficult to achieve. The normalization of illegalities, administrative apathy, and weak oversight reflects a deeper failure of accountability. Political responsibility cannot end with autonomous institutions or be measured solely by electoral success; those entrusted with oversight must also answer for systemic failures. Until India confronts this culture of complacency and strengthens national capability, resilience and institutional integrity, its aspirations of Amrit Kaal, Vishwaguru status and global leadership will remain more rhetoric than reality."

- Vivek Katju, The Indian Express, (12/6)

"The larger issue is not political but intellectual. No serious scholar argues that Indian Knowledge Systems begin and end with Sanskrit; rather, Sanskrit served as a connective layer linking diverse philosophical, spiritual and regional traditions. While historical exclusions must be acknowledged, the answer is wider access to knowledge, not rejection of inherited traditions. India’s deeper challenge is the rupture colonial education inflicted on its knowledge culture and the tendency to separate Sanskrit from the living traditions around it. The IKS movement is not a triumphalist celebration of the past but a serious effort to rediscover, debate and revive India’s knowledge traditions, despite the inevitable exaggerations and political appropriations that accompany such a process."

- Swati Ramanathan & Ramesh Ramanathan, The Indian Express, (8/6)
