Sanskrit & ShastraIf, by fortune or misfortune, you have ever stepped into those cacophonous din-houses of Indian justice—which under delusion we often call 'temples of justice'—you would frequently have had darshan (beholding of a deity) of the blindfolded goddess of justice.

Sanskrit & ShastraMost opponents of Eastern cultures have held the belief that the *somarasa* (sacred juice of the Soma plant) drunk by the Vedic *rishis* (sages) was alcohol. Bachchan's father, the elder Bachchan Sahib, has even penned an entire poem around this vile line of thinking:
