Although I am no admirer of imperialist Churchil but his comments on Indian leaders have great relevance in today's context and I quote:Power will go to the hands of rascals,rogues and freebooters. All Indian leaders will be low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts.They will fight amongst themselves for power and India will be lost in political squabbles. A day would come when even air and water would be taxed.

He was not too far off the mark! What do you say?

Around the same time, when India was on the verge of attaining freedom, our the then leaders were discussing about the type of government India should adopt. Nehru and many others shown inclination for democratic way of Government to the would be born new India. Then Sardar Patel said, not now, India even after 100 years is not fit for a Democratic government. I feel Patel is more relevant than ever before.

I sincerely believe that a climactic point has been reached in Indian political landscape and the new generation would step in to change the state of affairs which have been despairingly dismal!!

If you don't brand me as a pessimist, I'm not having even an iota of hope about the new generation that can bring a change in the near future.

I am one of those who never fall prey to negative influences. A ship which is laden with sins would sink today,tomorrow or thereafter and in its place would appear new ship of hope!
