Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Is demanding that the wealthiest people in the country and the largest corporations finally pay their fair share of taxes radical? No. What’s radical is the very rich not paying a nickel in federal income tax while the needs of the working class of this country are neglected.

Jairam Ramesh @Jairam_Ramesh
It is high time that we give every Indian language the prominence it deserves. Hindi Diwas should be recast as Bhasha Diwas—celebrating ALL Indian languages. India is stronger together when we celebrate our diversities.
