India: A Million Mutinies Now - pg. 416

'The Hindu religion is a conglomeration of faiths, 500 religions or faiths. We've had reformist movements from the very beginning. From the dawn of civilization we've had reformist movements against orthodoxy. What happens is that every reform movement degenrates into a sect - the Lingayats, the Arya Samajists, everybody. Buddha rebelled. Mahavir, the founder of the Jains, rebelled. Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikhs, rebelled. It's a long list. They rebelled and degenrated into sects, and became as orthodox as the previous orthodox people. So I didn't put on those saffron robes and start going about to those conferences, or preaching in public. I published my magazines.'
