I am a Brahmin, my wife a Chishti & a Mysorean Rajput. Our son is an Indian—Sitaram Yechury

It is only the syncretic evolution of the India we know today, that is our strength..

From my own experience of the last 12 years, I can say that it is not that we only reflect the concerns of the people outside, but we also give an agenda to the people outside, that how the country should be and that is the input the Parliament or the House must give to the movements that will be taking place outside..

That, in the long run, will only undermine all of us together.. So, my only appeal, Sir, is that in todays situation, we are, I think, living in a period of what is normally called as the post-truth..

Yes, the Leader of the House very jocularly said that since Sitaram has never been in the Government and he makes all these atrocious demands and things that are not practical, I am sure that is a value that they also share, sometimes, or many a times..

I am married to a person whose father is a Sufi of the Islamic order whose surname is Chishti, the Chishti-Sufis, and whose mother is a Rajput but a Mysorean Rajput, who migrated there in the Eighth Century AD..
