Milarepa was a Tibetan monk who was very revengeful in his youth, but then he became one of Tibet's most loved and cherished figures of history. Saint Francis of Assisi was a rich, disillusion young man who left it all to pursue a life of compassion and generosity towards everyone.

Saint and I grew up together and we played basketball back when we were in, I think, 5th grade. And stayed in touch. Actually, the way Saint and I stayed in touch--. He lives in Boston and after that, I went to college in Tennessee, California, and Atlanta.
The way that Saint and I stayed in touch was really through EverQuest--EverQuest and Gchat these days. Saint came to me back in--let's see--it was January of 2009 and a weight of 236 pounds. Like any other desk jockey, he had kinda sat around after he graduated college. Didn't really keep track of his weight. Didn't really exercise much. And wanted to start making

Donc, du coup, on va aller à l'école à Saint-Denis. À Saint-Denis, des noirs, des Arabes, je ne savais même pas ce que c'était. Des Indiens. Moi, on m'appelait l'Indien au Congo, parce que j'étais un peu plus clair que la moyenne.
Donc, je lui dis : "Non, non." Je continue à aller à l'école, s'il vous plaît... À saint-Denis. Donc, RER B, tous les matins. Luxembourg, plein de voyageurs, moi, je fais l'inverse des gens.
Because I was leaving my region, where we spoke Fulani, and I was going to another region, called Saint Louis where they spoke Wolof.

Angela Saini: Yeah. male #1: And I should, if I can, derail this as soon as possible." Angela Saini: Yeah.
Angela Saini: male #1: both geographically, politically, and culturally and so forth? And then again sort of a general question about have you seen any signs of push back ?
Angela Saini: Yeah. male #1: sort of on these movement forward.
Angela Saini: Yeah, actually about a third of the book is about the resistance from religious groups and activists. There are many activists in India who believe that the country, like
Angela Saini: There are, yeah. So in the book I do give example. I mean the example I use in the book is of the debate over GM food. So in the U.S. we, GM food is very widely
Angela Saini: Yeah. male #1: but most of the top students don't go to there for the Ph.D.s -- Angela Saini: No they don't. When I went to the Indian Institute of Technology, they
