# Mandela did move me a lot during his stay in jail, when he was fighting against racism. I remember having a huge poster of him in my room. He fought against race and class and similarly in India, we too are fighting caste and class.
- Anand Patwardhan, activist and documentary filmmaker
# There is no doubt that Nelson Mandela is the man of the century. He certainly made the world more beautiful.
-Anil Kapoor
# He has inspired me since childhood. During my formative years as an activist, he was in jail fighting against racism. His non-violent methods showed me the way ahead - how I could use the tool of non-violence.
- Himanshu Kumar, activist fighting for the rights of tribals in Chhattisgarh
# He was not for violence and that was his strength. His struggle helped his country with a vision. His democratic and human rights values were his main pillars. I admire the way he, on one hand, met economic and political commitments and on the other hand, also ensured good governance, which has made South Africa what it is today.
- Medha Patkar, social activist
# The world has lost its second Gandhi in Nelson Mandela’s death. Building a nation based on his immortal values of social equality will be a fitting tribute to him.
- Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan
# His fight against apartheid was for the welfare of mankind. We will not find a leader of his stature again. He followed in Mahatma Gandhi’s footsteps with a firm belief in non-violence and ignited the torch of peaceful revolution.
- Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar
# He was a real Mahatma, a great human being who fought against apartheid. In his death the entire world has lost a great leader who fought for the highest values and human rights.
- PWD Minister Chhagan Bhujbal
# He no longer belongs to us. He belongs to the ages... I am one of the countless millions who drew inspiration from Nelson Mandela’s life... And like so many around the globe, I cannot fully imagine my own life without the example that Nelson Mandela set.
- US President Barack Obama
# He was a man of courage, principle and unquestionable integrity, a great human being, someone of whom we can truly say, ‘He lived a meaningful life.’ I offer my heartfelt condolences to you, the members of your family, the entire people of South Africa.
- Dalai Lama
