Quotations on Mahamana

• "In a very unique and special sense Pandit Malaviya symbolizes India not only in the minds of his own countrymen, but also in the eyes of the outside world."

  - Sir C.V. Raman,
  Eminent Scientist and Nobel Laureate

• "Mahamana Malaviyaji's all-encompassing compassion embraced one and all, kings and paupers alike. That is why he was called Mahamana."

  - Vinoba Bhave,
  Spiritual Leader and Human Right Activist

• "Some people told me that he was anti - Muslim, but how untrue it is in the case of this great patriot. Pt. Malaviya is just an Indian. The great qualities of his personality which impressed me most are his humanity, selfless service and high standard of values."

  - Ismail Mirza,
  

• "Among all the pictures that remain in my memory of friends in India none is more vivid than that of Pt Madan Mohan Malaviya. I see his picture as one who combined gentleness with a burning enthusiasm for the causes which he thought right."

  - Sir George Schuster,
  Ex Finance Member, British Government of India

• "Europe is aware of the extent to which Indian education is indebted to Pandit Malaviyaji, but I have not seen before such a great institution which is, to a great extent, the work of one single person. If Pandit Malaviya were not a politician, he would have been considered the greatest leader of the academic world; and if Banaras Hindu University were not his child, he would have been considered a great politician of the world. This is a unique combination in the history of India."

  - Colonel Wedgewood,
  Member of British Parliament
