More quotes by Goparaju Ramachandra Rao

Because morality is a social necessity, the moment faith in god is banished, man's gaze turns from god to man and he becomes socially conscious.

Human problems are more psychological than materialistic.

Atheism alone is the surest way to morality.

Positive secularism is not tolerance of all religions, but it is the total denial of religious beliefs: it is the emergence of homogeneous human outlook which is based upon verifiable facts of life.

Rao (1996)

Who takes the blame: the leader who talks of poverty but lives in luxury, or the poor who choose a leader of that type?
