S: The mother of Moses saved his life. Even before he was born, his death was decreed. She hid him in a basket. She gave him up so that he could live. It was his mother that created the leader of the people, their champion. The honour is hers.
A: So?
S: When my mother was an Indian schoolgirl, the rich and powerful decided that us, the poor, that we could not breed. They were forcing sterilisation on the young girls. My mother heard the whispers. They were coming to her school. She was next. She hid in the bathroom. She escaped. She never went back to school. She chose to be the Mother. She chose us, the people.
A: She saved your life?
S: And then she named me after Sunil Dutt, the man that saved the life and honour of Mother India. The son that weds the Mother. She handed me my destiny. The mother gives birth to The Tiger. What am I? I am The Tiger.
A: You think you are Moses?
S: The mother of Krishna saves his life from the evil oppressor Kans. The tales of the god and Moses are the tales of my life. I have been born under the star of destiny. The mother gives birth to the Revolution. I am the Revolution. The mother gives birth to the hero at great personal cost. I am the hero. The mother gives birth to destiny. I am destiny.
A: Analysis?
S: The Mother is life over death. She is protection. She is resistance. She is the champion of the people. A warrior goddess gives birth to a warrior.
A: You worship your mother?
S: She is me and what I hope to be. She is power. She is hope. And she is love. She is my religion and my meaning in this life.
