Tryst With Destiny

Indians are famous for their weak memory. Be it terrorist strike or be it political misgivings or even corruption Indians in the past have shown that they tend to move on. In the past this attitude has been called resilient when taken in a positive manner and the "chalta hain" attitude when taken in the negative approach.

The number of people thronging to the ram lila maidan have dwindled. Are we again falling in the trap that in the first place resulted in us getting to the situation we are in. Callousness. Or are more fundamental necessities of life taking over. Average Indian has a family to support, work to do and can we expect them to throng the street every day? Can the government take it easy?

I would say that it would be stupid to assume that Indian have accepted their faith. Resentment is there and government did get a reality check on the weekend. If they do not heed to the warning signals they may hear them again and this time it won't be warning it would be a decision. The decision of the vote. Never forget that even Indira Gandhi was booted out.

Don't just enact a law. Reduce corruption. Improve Governance. The Indian is awake again.
