Indeed as one of your other (many) students most humble, this blogger must also ask: Who can take place of the parental figures of N & G, who towered over a young nation? We must have new leadership of a high enough stature. While the British Raj provided the nurture and honed the statesmanship of the N & G, what challenges will hone the next round of great leadership? This humble blogger hopes that it will not be a regional or religious fracture of Mother India.AmOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351322682932613136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007509643610309350.post-59244958290372873622008-10-31T08:37:00.000+05:302008-10-31T08:37:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.AmOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351322682932613136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007509643610309350.post-84645594512500028632008-10-29T21:33:00.000+05:302008-10-29T21:33:00.000+05:30Oh learned mastah!

Allow me to quote from the post <I>``it is time to think about how far we have left behind the democratic ideals of people like Nehru and Gandhi.</I> Needless to say it is impossible to go back to the past. Besides, these fine men have been gone for 60 and 44 years respectively. So we need to ask why the vacuum, and what is to be done? New men and women have to rise and articulate what their vision of democracy and rights is. No old formulation is going to work. N and G were lucky: they have an obvious enemy to get rid of. The problems are totally different now. Your take? <BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Your humble student.Ananthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12974808252913561726noreply@blogger.com
