| Haley honestly traces his Afro-American lineage to a remote central African village and in doing so, puts forth an ironic thesis that it is not Africa that is black but the US that has been blighted by bigotry and ignorance. |
| If India has to make a name for itself in the global economy in the coming years, we will have to emulate "" without compromise "" the Pandavas at the end of the Mahabharata where, not too unlike the protagonist of Roots, the journey was completed not by the one who was the smartest or the slickest, but by the one who had unwavering determination, belief and faith. This is my credo and Roots has added immensely to it. |
