“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, any Indian who degrades another Indian because of the food he eats, the god he prays to, or the person he loves, then he doesn’t deserve to be the leader of India.”
• In 2015, Vikram was attacked for accepting Jagdish Tytler’s Pravasi Bharatiya Samman in 2005. This Jagdish Tytler is often accused of taking part in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Delhi. When news of Jagdish’s involvement in the riots broke, Baha Dutt asked Vikram if he would return the prize he had taken from him. Vikram replied—
“If Sahitya Akademi is rude, I will also refund my award.”
