“Where the king goes, the
realm follows,” says a character in Game
of Thrones. It is the leader who
shapes the country. A visionary leader
with practical acumen can transform the nation into a wonder.
I dream of an India with
such a leader who will raise the country above its filthy poverty, illiteracy
and superstitions, and abominable corruption in every quarter from religion to
politics.
It is the leader who
makes all the difference. Right now India
is led by a leader who promises much and delivers nothing. Since the vast majority of people are steeped
in poverty and ignorance, he continues to mesmerise them with rhetoric. The poor idiots think that they are actually
living in some paradise. They are like
the children who followed the pied piper.
India has tremendous
resources and manpower neither of which is utilised properly. Our politicians are utterly corrupt and
insincere. They work hand in hand with
traders who are amassing riches beyond the imagination of the vast majority in
the country. India is being sold to a
few traders by the politicians who get their due rewards.
India should go back to
the people. India belongs to the people
theoretically at least. Only a good
leader can do that. My dream is all
about such a leader. He is not in sight,
however, not even in the distant, far distant horizon.
