“We in Asia have also our own contributions to make to the civilization of the world. For centuries Asia has been the cradle of religions – of spiritual knowledge – of philosophy which gives life a deeper significance. Perhaps your complexities of life will be influenced and eased by our simplicities. Let us try and give of our[selves] to each other.” –Shareefah Hamid Ali, Indian civil rights & women’s rights activist and founding member of the UN Commission on the Status of Women
